Hi, Lurette Welcome. It's wonderful that your interests are in those areas, as there are many books on the download list in those categories and not that many people who take them--some, but not very many. I've taken a few books that have been on the download list for a long time and/or that have some problems. If you would be interested in validating Archaeology of the Land of the Bible, by Mazar, which I wsa thinking of doing when I finish the book I'm working on, and/or One Minute Millionaire, I'd be happy to release them. I've requested Archaeology, the actual book, and could help you if you needed anything from the book. It does look pretty inersting--needs hard page breaks, and seems to have footnotes at the end of each page. One Minute Millionaire has advice on one page, apparently, and a continuous story on the facing page. Please let me know either here on the list or offlist if you'd like to do those books. As I said, I'd be happy to help by providing words or lines or pages if you need help.
