Sorry, G Cindy, I hadn't seen this message when I posted my last one on this thread. But it seems that Jim posting this list on the FOB site would be redundant since there is already a list set up that just needs updating. Why not just add the books that people email you to Jake's already existing rescan list, and take books off of it that are done?http://www.jbrownell.com/bks/rescan.asp
I'm not opposed to Jim doing that, of course, in principle. It just seems that it would be a duplication of effort and he could probably better use the time.
Unless the rescan list on Jake's site is hard to manipulate for some reason, then it might be a good idea to set something up that is more user friendly. But I don't think so; although, as I said, I haven't tried to make changes to that particular list myself.

I think that's an excellent idea--although...I have added the two mentioned recently to the Wish List with a note attached that they need to be rescanned. I guess if Jim is willing to add another list to his site and people are willing to post or mail me we could maintain a rescan list.

I read them quickly, but sure hope I didn't miss anything important.
