Hi, Cindy.
Carrie mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Bookshare just got some sort of grant that would allow them to process nonfiction books. Perhaps those are the ones that got taken off of the list? I really have no idea; this is just my best guess.
Have a good weekend.
Christina

I've added these to the wish list and will send it to julie and jim for posting tonight. I don't understand, but the wish list is way shorter than I remember it being. i wonder if there's another one on one of my computers--or have a lot of wishes been filled?

NOTE: Could the below titles possibly
be added to the wish list?  Thank you.

Hi, Chanelle.  Oh yes indeed.  There are many
books on politics,
particularly from a conservative point-of-view, that I
would love to see
added to the collection.  I'm glad to see all topics
available for reading
on Bookshare, but conservatives could use some expansion to
b certain.
There are some books covering this subject-matter, but they
are few and far
between.  I gather most of them have only made it into
the collection in the
first place because they made it on the NYT best seller
list at one point,
(i.e. Ann Coulter, etc).  More choices are truly
needed that comprise
conservative thought for a better rounded reading selection
for all.

Since I have the floor, LOL, Some of my own personal wish
list choices would
be:

10 Books That Screwed Up the World: And 5 Others That
Didn't Help by
Benjamin Wiker.

Invasion by Michelle Malkin.

In Defense of Internment by Michelle Malkin.

Stealing Elections, Revised and Updated: How Voter Fraud
Threatens Our
Democracy by  John Fund.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution by
Kevin Gutzman.

Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies by Gregg Jackson.

The REALLY Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental
Catastrophes Liberals
Don't Want You to Know About (Because They Helped Cause
Them) by Iain
Murray.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History by
Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

In the Words of Our Enemies by Jed Babbin.

More Guns, Less Crime by John Lott.

And the list goes on.  Thank you very much for asking
about this.  There are
so many types of books I'd like to read but I can't since
they aren't
available on Bookshare.  We need more scanners who are
willing to submit
books of this nature, and the effort wouldn't go
unappreciated.

Is there a demand for more books on certain subject matters
for Bookshare?
It would be great to grow the collection, and I am
interested in scanning. I
would just like to provide books that would be useful. I
guess I could start
by checking out the wish list. :)
