The problem with that book is the font, capital letters don't always
come out right, and columns with headings and print that varies in size
so the text doesn't fall right. I was using an optacon to look at the
pages and it was getting to be a big project to say the least. There'
really aren't that many figures and I didn't see many charts at least in
the first third of the book. I'm just curious, when bookshare scans a
book, who does the editing in situations where it almost requires
someone to access the print copy and fix the book?

Hi Charlene,
Yes, I copied Janice on my previous email, so she knows about the book
you want. Scanning won't be a problem, but it sounds like validating it
will be. Charts and graphs take a large amount of time...

Carrie, you're a very good, kind soul! (SMILE) I'll do just that!
However, whoever gets the privelege of scanning it is in for tearing
their hair out! Thanks much! I gather you've already put in the
request.

Hi Charlene,
I asked Janice, who said that if you'd like a particular NYT
best-seller, she'll get it. So stop scanning it, stop tearing your hair
out, send it back to the library, sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday
season! Have an extra eggnog on me! :-) It may take a while to order
and proces s the book (I just got 10 NYT books to process for
December!), but it'll get done eventually.

Are the NY Times books that bookshare is acquiring starting from any
particular time? The reason I asked is that I've been attempting to
scan "You The Owners Manual" by MICHAEL F. ROIZEN, M.D., and MEHMET C.
OZ, M.D. and it's tough going and if bookshare is already acquiring it I
would promptly throw up my hands and send it back to the library!
(smile!)
I think the book is really worthwhile, but it 's a real pain to scan, so
was hoping it might be coming one of these days.
