I use alibris a lot and find them to be pretty good, plus accessible with screen readers and customer service is good.

Hi, Debby, Bookshare is located in Palo Alto, California. One of the first things I did when I planned to get books for Bookshare was find contact details for them. Here's the address I use: Bookshare.org, The BenetechInitiative, 480 S. California Ave., Suite 201, Palo Alto, Ca 94306-1609. Sofar they've gotten books either from amazon.com or Powell's Bookstorewww.powells.com. I haven't used alibris.com yet, and I hear they're a source for out-of-print and hard-to-find books. I hope this helps you out. Regards,Kim. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Debby Franson Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 9:25 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Request Hi Monica and everyone! If I were to send a book to the Bookshare office, would I send it to aparticular 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, orshould I send it directly to one of the expert picture describers on thislist? I would need to buy a copy of the book from my friend first. If oneof the picture describers from the list would like to send me your address privately, you can. Debby At 03:45 PM 11/2/2009, Monica Willyard wroteMelissa. 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 ofuscan 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 helpwith the sidebars.
