I think assigned book means the training book. When I signed up to be a volunteer in July of 2008 there was no training book. I just grabbed a book from the checkout list that did not have a hold on it and started right in. Things have become a bit more complex now, but as far as I know you should be able to jump right in now that you have finished your training.

It cannot be on the side of workers anywhere in the world because it is an ally of the monopolies. It cannot be on the side of colonies because it is an ally of the colonizing powers." - Fidel Castro 1960

The instruction letter said "Since we assign books to new volunteers, please check out only your assigned book." I took this to mean that I was to wait for an assignment.
When I saw in a recent email to this list that they get about 160 new volunteer applications a month, I thought it might be a long wait.
Perhaps someone from Benetech will respond to your question. On Jun 20, 2011, at 12:47 PM, Rolph Recto wrote:
Hi, I'm a new volunteer here. I just submitted my proof of the training book a couple days ago and now I'm wondering what to do next. Do I have to wait for feedback before I can start?Thanks, Rolph Recto
