Hi Monica and everyone!If I were to send a book to the Bookshare office, would I send it to a particular person? My friend has written a really cute kid's book about her service dog. I think it would be helpful if the pictures were described, or should I send it directly to one of the expert picture describers on this list? I would need to buy a copy of the book from my friend first. If one of the picture describers from the list would like to send me your address privately, you can.

Melissa. I'll take a look for these. I think they'd be very helpful for several of us. I remember Carrie saying a long time ago that the Dummies books are tricky to scan. If we can't get it from a library, maybe one of us can find a used copy that's affordable and send it to the Bookshare office. Surely it would be educational, and they have sighted people who could help with the sidebars.
