[bksvol-discuss] Re: February New York Times bestsellers

If a book is published next week, hits the NYT bestseller list, then falls off 
that list in two or three weeks, it won't make the March list. If such a 
scenario presents itself, will Bookshare be able to make middle-of-the-month 
purchases, so that all books which grace the bestseller list that are not 
already part of the collection, will be added? This leads logically to another 
question. Is Bookshare aiming to get *all* NYT bestsellers into the collection? 
Or is this based on monetary limitations and/or other criteria?

Thanks,
Scott

  Hi gang,

  Here's the list of the bestsellers.  Instead of putting in a huge order once 
a month, I've been picking the books up as I stumble across them in my 
wanderings around bookstores.  I've included the status of each book after the 
title so you can see where it is in the scanning and validation process.
