Gerald,

I assumed that those were the books people were asking
about, i.e., books that had been sitting on the
download list for a very long time, not ones that had
been released. When I clicked on some of the titles at
the bottom of the list I found they were submitted in
spring and fall of 2006.

The Spanish-language book at the bottom of the list is
probably in excellent shape, since it was submitted b
Dilsia, as native Spanish-speaker. Probably it only
needs the basic minimum checking and could then be in
the collection.
