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 Benetech
Initiative, 480 S. California Ave., Suite 201, Palo Alto, Ca 94306-1609. So
far they've gotten books either from amazon.com or Powell's Bookstore
www.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.

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.
