Well, I see this as a problem if people are going to be doing the
books and then the publisher donates them, but how do you avoid that.
In the end, do we have to just leave it alone in the name of getting
more books submitted with excellent ratings (they should be if they
come from a publisher) or do we protest this? I think it is a bind, to
tell you the ruth. I don't want to do hard, good work that is then
replaced by something else, but on the other hand, I appreciate that a
higher volume of books can be placed in the collection. So what do we
do about it and how do we reconcile the good with the bad? I hope I am
understanding this.

These publisher quality books concern me. John Glass said something
to the
effect that someday they hope to have all publisher quality in the
collection. We have some topnotch submitters and validators, and a
lot of
the books in the collection reflect this. I would hate to see books
that
deserve their excellent rating replaced.

Allison H was kind enough to send me the list of books
that HarperCollins has donated to bookshare. I gather
that bookshare is working on making them available for
download in BRF, and Allison and some of you kind
people are working to affix short synopses. Then
they'll be added to the collection.
Some already have been added, replacing one book that
I spent time validating, though my synopsis was left
intact. Whether others will replace books already in
the collection, even if they're Excellent, or will be
added along with them so members have a choice as to
what to download, I don't know. I certainly hope not
the former.
Anyway, I plan not to validate any books on the list.
If any of you are thinking of scanning or validating
books published by HarperCollins, you're welcome to
check with me if you don't want to do one of the books
that will be added by the publisher.
Unfortunately, we couldn't wait for the Princess Diary
books to get into the collection from the publisher.
Only Princess in Training remains, and Judy is
validating that. Yay!!
