Dear Booksharian Friends,
The following list was updated tonight, December 20, 2007.
I know Christmas and New Year's Day are coming, but you wouldn't have to
scan these until you have the time.
I'll send the following books free to volunteers interested in scanning
them. Anyone you like can validate them or you can put them up on step one.
When the book is approved, please do anything you like with it.
I hope to mail these to a variety of people who have a special interest in
them. I won't be boxing all of them up to send to only one or two people. If
I spread them around, maybe they'll have better chances to be carefully
scanned and validated and added to the collection.
As usual, please send your request and address off list to
airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll post which books are claimed and which are still available. Unless the
submittor notifies the list of what book I've sent, I don't announce who has
what.
I'll ship unrequested books to Bookshare.
Thanks in advance for helping me clear out my book overage and for adding
new books for all of us.

Brian Kilmeade Co-host of Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends Forward by Jim
Brown, Hard cover 325 pages about 70 short chapters. This looks like a
fascinating, not boring, book for sports fans. The contents is printed with

problem. Sports like baseball, basketball, soccer, golf and many more are

24. Dark Horse by Fletcher Knebel hardback 367 pages, Quinn, an obscure New

income tax rate coupled with the abolition of all deductions except a 30
percent human depletion allowance for all taxpayers. a law requiring all
prison guards and wardens to spend at least one month at a penal institution
other than their own, as anonymous prisoners. Satire? I don't know/!
Thanks,
Always with love,
Lissi
