That way, if Bookshare does not get the books, we can get them on our own. It would be a money saver and time saver all around.

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?
