I have no idea if we can get library prices. I'll suggest it to Janice, to see
if she can't work out some deal with amazon.com.
Thanks for the idea! Carrie

Carrie, can't an organization like ours get library prices? They're
significantly lower. But maybe you have to order in bulk? Just curious.

I order from amazon.com. I compare the used and new book prices, and order
books used if their price plus shipping is less than a new version. Sorry to
disappoint you, no exotic sources! :-)

Hi Carrie,
Where do you usually order your books from. I?m always looking for good
sources.

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for the heads up! I did check the collection (and Marissa's list)
before ordering, but somehow I missed it. Drat! Oh well, them's the breaks.
I'm the one doing the ordering these days, so it's my fault if the order isn't
correct. Sorry everyone!

Carrie,
Fifth Horseman is already in the collection. I read it and don?t recall
any problems, so you might want to check before going to the trouble of
rescanning it. OK, I took another quick look, but didn?t spot any problems.
BTW, doesn?t someone check the collection before ordering bestsellers which
have been out for a while? Seems like a waste of limited funds to rescan a
book marked Excellent without knowing that there?s a problem.

I just ordered 17 New York Times bestsellers, so I'll be tied up with
them for a few weeks or maybe more. But I did chop, scan and OCR about 14 more
of those romance novels, so I'll add them to the download list next week. At
least they're easy to validate...
You probably want to know which NYT books I ordered. Let me find the
list and copy it here so no one will work on them in the meantime. They are:
THE HOUSE, by Danielle Steel
THE 5TH HORSEMAN, by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro
THE TENTH CIRCLE, by Jodi Picoult
THE TEMPLAR LEGACY, by Steve Berry
FALSE IMPRESSION, by Jeffrey Archer
MISQUOTING JESUS, by Bart D. Ehrman
THE BROTHERS BULGER, by Howie Carr
LEFT TO TELL, by Immaculée Ilibagiza
YOU'RE WEARING THAT?, by Deborah Tannen
FATAL BURN, by Lisa Jackson
KILL THE MESSENGER, by Tami Hoag
PRETTY WOMAN, by Fern Michaels
DEVIL IN WINTER, by Lisa Kleypas
THE COVENANT WITH BLACK AMERICA
SMASHED, by Koren Zailckas
THE GLASS CASTLE, by Jeannette Walls
GAME OF SHADOWS by Mark Fainradu-Wada

Jake,
I?ve notice the Step 1 list shrinking as well. I think it?s probably due
to books being processed and Carrie?s being tied up with bestsellers and
playing bridge. It?s amazing how fast it can shrink sometimes when Carrie
isn?t adding forty books a week to it and how fast it grows when she does.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Step 1 Languishers
Hi all,
Firstly, I'd like to applaud the work the BookShare Team and
Volunteers have done in the first quarter of 2006! This year is definitely
shaping up to be a good one from all the signs we've seen so far, ie. increased
funding that will allow BookShare to begin work on meeting some long term goals.
That said, I'm happy to report that the Step 1 page has been less
than 400 books for a few days now. I'm hoping this is because books aren't
sitting around on it forever, and not that people are working on 15 books at a
time.
And, that said, I know some of you have been wanting to root out
the titles that have been on the page for a long time. I've compiled a list of
the tob 27 books that have been there since before February 2005. And actually
a couple of the books were submitted as early as January 2004!
title author
The Mystery of Capital Hernando de Soto
Early Greek Thinking. Martin Heidegger
Digital Fortress Dan Brown
Essentials of Corporate Finance Ross Westerfield and Jordan
"Hands Heal: Communication, Documentation, and Insurance Billing for Manual
Therapists, Second Edition." "Thompson, Diana L. LMP (Licensed Massage
Therapist, Seattle, WA"
Range Management; Principles & Practices "Holechek, Pieper, and Herbel"
Changing Japanese Attitudes Toward Modernization Marius B. Jansen (editor)
Speed Tribes: Days and Nights with Japan's Next Generation Karl Taro Greenfeld
Reflexive Methodology: New Vistas for Qualitative Research Mats Alvesson and
Kaj Skoldberg
Our Arcadia Robin Lippincott
Physical Education & Sport in a Changing World William Freeman
Business Hits on the Web 2003-2004 with Excercises Jerry Furniss
The Triumph of Elohim (Diana Vikander Edelmaeditor)n
All That is Solid Melts into Air: the Experience of Modernity Marshall Berman
Forms of Talk Erving Goffman
Applescript in a Nutshell Bruce W. Perry
Cafe Nostalgia Valdés Zoé
Gabriel's Discovery Felicia Mason
Language of the Heart Bill W
Rome's Revenge Sara Craven
Brilliance of the Moon Lian Hearn
Flower Girls "Janet Dailet, Et Al."
Speaking Culturally: Explorations in Social Comm. Gerry Philipsen
Utilization-Focused Evaluation: The New Century Text (third edition) Michael
Quinn Patton
Untilization Focused Evaluation Micheal Quinn Patton
"Critical Issues in Special Education: Access, Diversity, and Accountability"
"AUDREY McCRAY SORRELLS, HERBERT J. RIETH, PAUL T. SINDELAR"
Remember Names Dale Carnegie
Yeah, I know a lot of these titles look boring and generally
unappealing. The only one I have personal experience with is the Mystery of
Capital. The book has lots of split words and little things that need
correcting. If someone were interested in cleaning up the book it would be
doable, and that's the only reason I didn't reject it.
BTW this list was ordered with the oldest books at the top.
Happy Volunteering!
Jake
