Oh I am sorry. I thought I had put punctuation in. I try to be so careful about 
how much I put on a line, that I  forget or think I have put punctuation when I 
didn't  sorry about that.
Hmmm wonder what that had to do with my questions which all weren't answered  
satisfacturally.

  I have seen tables of contents for various books on various web sites before, 
but I don't know of any site that can consistently give you that information 
for any book you might be working on. Try googling the title and author and see 
if you come up with anything that might help you. By the way, is there any 
reason that you do not use punctuation in your emails? It makes it a little 
difficult to determine your meaning sometimes.

  Is  there a place on line, where you can find out things for a book like the 
contents of books that kind of thing

  I  know you can wait until you see a sighted person and that is cool but 
wondered if there is such a  place where you can find out things the little 
things
  without sighted help.

  Also Bob thought he heard once, like if it is a text book or an important 
book where things have to be precise but on fiction books if it didn't mess up
  the book some things didn't matter like we've had books before where headings 
weren't there and lots of times the page numbers you don't hear them in a
  book they don't show up when the book comes up and is excepted anyhow because 
of like software or any number of things.

  Because he says he has put up books that he was sure he had the page numbers 
in and stuff and when he has looked at them or brought them down none of those
  things are in there.

  I know you  have to do a good job that kind of thing

  I have even had a person who does not volunteer for bookshare who just reads 
tell me that all that stuff distracts from the book and breaks up the text
  and it bothers him.

  Just thought I'd ask.

  Cause some books no matter what a blind person does some books are grand but 
some books  especially these tiny ones stuff just doesn't come out and this
  is about the 4th time I've gone through this book in fact got so dilligent on 
it that ended up putting up a partial book not sure how that happened but
  it did.

  I'm ready for some new books LOL these same 9 books LOL have been sitting on 
my table for months and I've redone them so many times that wow they are broke
