If we got the right describers, with appropriately sultry voices to do the descriptions in mp3 format, we could post these on other sites that cost money (much money)to join, or put the descriptions on tapes to be played over the telephone for three or four dollars a minute (I'm not sure of the going rate since they cancelled my credit card).But, we could have here the makings of a vast, if slightly illegal, servicefor both blind and sighted patrons.Oh well, the resultant legal battles might cause the department of educationto re-think their generous grant. But, wealth is wealth, isn't it? Sorry for the flight into fantasy, just musing on an early Friday morning. It's really not my fault, you know, Amy started this thread.

From what I haveseen there does not seem to be any area of interest that some Booksharian isnot willing to scan and/or validate and there certainly is no field that some Bookshare wants to read. There should be no prudishness in choosing books for the collection other than those areas that are illegal, if any, for libraries or certainly for mail. The only one I can think of is Pedophilia in other than a psychological text.

No guarantees about when I can get to them for processing though... [Most of the books look like they are thesoft-core, romance-y books. If anyone is interested in basic erotica, checkout Ellora's Cave publishers (www.ellorascave.com). If you're into kinky stuff, try the Greenery Press (www.greenerypress.com). We have books from both publishers already in the collection.] Carrie ----- Original Message ---- From: solsticesinger To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 5:07:31 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: book donation Carrie, I'm wondering what the erotica books are. I'm sure thereare several of us who would be willing to help out with those. Shannon I amonly one; but still I am one. I can not do everything, but I can dosomething. And, because I can not do everything, I will not refuse to do thesomething I can do. Everet Edward Hale ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Karnos To: Bookshare Vol Group Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 1:29 PMSubject: [bksvol-discuss] book donation Hi gang, We just received a donation of 38 books, so I took out the ones that I thought would be of more interest to people. (The rest of the books are romance/erotica). Question: there are 3 Jennifer Chiaverini books - The Master Quilter, The Quilter's Legacy, and The Sugar Camp Quilt. Is someone else processing these? If so, I'll put the books into the 'Sell to a Used Bookstore' pile here in the office. If not, Ican chop and scan them, and submit them to the download list. The otherbooks I took out were: A Portrait of Jane Austen, by David Cecil Payment in Blood, by Elizabeth George Halfway to the Grave, by Jeaniene Frost Music toMy Sorrow, by Mercedes Lackey Bedlam's Edge, by Mercedes Lackey BSO Beyond World's End by Mercedes Lackey Will try to get to processing them when I can.
