I'm willing to do them, depending on what they are. I like fiction, detective stories, history, if well-written, and biography if well-written -- and children's literature. I don't care particularly for sci fi or fantasy, though I have scanned and pre-validated some upon request and I did actually enjoy them. In fact, a couple stayed in my mind for a while. Of course I couldn't do all 1000 at once (grin). But I'm sure if you follow Sarah's suggestions of posting them someone will get to them, and if not I will -- or if you let me know when you submit one. I don't think I'll be able to get to anything until after Christmas, though. Cindy --- Sarah Van Oosterwijck <curiousentity@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Convert your books to .rtf and submit them.
