Tracy,
There's a man named John imarino who maintains daily lists of books
added to bookshare. The URL where these lists can be found is:
http://myplace.frontier.com/~bshare/
He has lists dating back to January of this year available on the
site; he sent lists to this list for several months prior to that; if
you're interested in anything dating further back, I probably have it
in my archives.
What I'm doing is pasting his lists in to a word document so I'll
constantly have access to them. After a few months, the older lists
fade off the site, and I don't want to loose any of the data.
I hope this is helpful.
Courtney
