I hope it wasn't too much; I do get carried away. My daughters complained when I came up with to much info in answer to a question,but her friends appreciated it and remembered it positively years later years afterward.

From: Cindy Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 11:28 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Nobel Prize winners in Literature from 1901 was Special COllections For those who want more information about the Nobel Prize for Literature, here's some general info,including a list of all winners since 1901. If anyone wants to make a project of scanning any of the books we don't have I'd be happy to proof them, although I don't know how we could do non-English books unless they have been translated. I knosw there'a at least one Sinclair Lewis book because I proofed it, and Kipling's poetry is in,because Amy scanned that and I proofed it. I don't know about his novels; and I'm sure, though I didn't check that The Good Earth must be in. Here's the info I copied from online: All Nobel Prizes in Literature The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded 104 times to 108 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2011.
