Yes, the only way I got all those books to send to my
email list of recipients was from Jake's list, and I
don't think he keeps it any more. I've been getting it
from the Browse New Books on the bookshare site, but I
think they expanded the number from 100. The only
problem was that one person's email wouldn't except
the whole list so I had to send it in multiple parts.
