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.

If somebody can find either of these books in their library, and would
be willing to scan them, I'd be happy to proof. They aren't in either of
my libraries, or I'd scan them myself.

Copyediting & Proofreading For Dummies by Suzanne Gilad ISBN-13:
978-0470121719

McGraw-Hill's Proofreading Handbook by Laura Anderson ISBN-13:

Thanks,

Melissa
