You want *all* of the bestsellers on
Bookshare? I'd love it if people could help
out. I put on the top 10 hardcover fiction and
non-fiction books, and the paperback trade, mass
market and non-fiction books, making a total of
50 books that I ensure are in the collection in
tip-top shape. There's a lot more though. If
you check the New York Times website (the lists
are at
<http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2008/02/02/books/bestseller/index.html>http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2008/02/02/books/bestseller/index.html),
you will find the bestseller lists contain:
35 hardcover fiction
35 hardcover non-fiction
15 hardcover advice
10 children's picture books
10 children's chapter books
10 children's paperback books
10 children's series books
35 paperback trade fiction
35 paperback mass market fiction
15 paperback advice
for a grand total of 210 books. You'll notice I
ignore the children's books and the advice books
entirely. If people want to process those, it
would be great! And sometimes there are books
that don't quite make it to the top 10 in the
other categories. Those would be good too.
My one request is to make New York Times books
not just excellent, but as close to perfect as
possible. No scannos, no junk characters, no
missing page numbers or page breaks - you know
the drill. Because so many people read them,
they really need to be top quality.
HTH, Carrie

That is how I find-out what the latest
bestsellers are. However, I do know that not
everybody does this. Also, it is easier to
store one little email which everybody can
access and discuss. It is just a thought. It
would make getting these bestsellers *all of them* on Bookshare.

It would be great if every week's NY Times
bestseller list could be posted on this
list. 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 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.
