Those books about nutrition, eating well inexpensively and handling money well may also fall into this educational category.
Monica thank you for pointing out this route. We can all take advantage of the educational slant to learn to live better.

Cindy, if he's not on this list, would you please let Paul know that this is the kind of book that they'll scan at the Bookshare office if he's willing to mail them a copy? I'm interested in reading it too, and my library doesn't have it. That got me thinking about Carrie's goal of scanning 10 books a day that are educational in some way. This book looks like a perfect fit. Carrie is willing to scan books and then lets us validate them from step 1 or gets the Worth Project to handle them. To me, that works out great because the book is in great shape, and validating is an easy thing to do. This whole concept applies to other books too, anything about history, science, literature, art, disabilities, philosophy, etc. I want to make sure my email comes out right. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from asking to have books scanned by volunteers. I just want people to know that there's another good way of getting books like this scanned.
