Hi, Mike. It's true that if you click on the Download link, that will check out the book for you, but you can click on the link for the book, then that will take you to a second page where you can see the comment history and more about the book. The link to actually download the book is on that second page, so you're safe to click on the link for the book, anyway, to check out more about a book without actually downloading it. Take care.

My scans are Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives, by Michael Newton and A Walden Two Experiment: The First Five Years of Twin Oaks Community by Kathleen Kinkade (I have a few other scans on my computer waiting to be uploaded; I'm planning on getting to them this weekend) Btw, thanks for sending out the new books that are being added to the collection. -- Michael Gorse / AIM:linvortex / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org -- On Thu, 25 May 2006, Cindy wrote: > Welcome as a volunteer, Mike. > > If you click on a title, you'll get the validatation > history--when the book was submitted, if anyone, and > how many, people started to validate it but let their > time lapse, usually at least a brief summary of the > book and a rating of the quality, not necessarily > accurate. > > You can take anything you want--anything that > interests you.
