Hi Cindy!I think you could go to the advanced search and make sure that publisher quality books are selected and then check one of the checkboxes for a category you are interested in to get only publisher quality books.
I just tried it, and, interesting! I checked the category for cooking, food and wine. They were not all publisher quality, but the interesting part is that "Daniel's Dish: Entertaining at Home with a Four-Star Chef" has categories for it, and it's a publisher quality book, so I guess some are categorized.
Here's the link so you can read about it: http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/139316?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9zZWFyY2g9QWR2YW5jZWQgU2VhcmNoJmJvb2tzVG9TZWFyY2g9QUxMJmNhdGVnb3JpZXM9Q29va2luZywgRm9vZCBhbmQgV2luZSZzb3J0T3JkZXI9UkVMRVZBTkNFJmxhbmd1YWdlPUFMTCZxdWFsaXRpZXM9UFVCTElTSEVSJl9jYXRlZ29yaWVzPW9uJg%3D%3D Debby At 05:28 PM 5/13/2011, Cindy wrote
I've written to Scott and Carol to see if it's something I could do between proofing books, i.e. waiting for another to proof--or as a break while proofing. (I'm not sure how I'd find the PQ books; would a search or PQ find them, or would I put in the publisher's name in the publisher space as Myrie mentionedCindy --- On Fri, 5/13/11, Melissa Smith <mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Melissa Smith <mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx>> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: So when I was browsing Bookshare I saw that...> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Friday, May 13, 2011, 4:33 AM > The publisher quality books are > often, if not always, submitted without any categories > selected.
