I wouldn't mind help at all, but there are donations from universities that other in-house volunteers are working on, to get into the collection. I should be helping them too! We'll be finished with all these donations eventually, just takes some time. Of course, by then, some more donations will have come in and the cycle repeats itself, kinda like life :-) Carrie siss52 <siss52@xxxxxxx> wrote: Smile. Wow, Carrie, you are in deep! Gustavo said you are the Alpha voolunteer so maybe you can get some in-house volunteer help. Sounds like you need it. <grin> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Karnos To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 8:08 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: used book purchases Three Came Home by Agnes Newton Keith is not in the Bookshare database but is available on amazon.com for $2.12 (and the Time reading program special edition is available for 1 cent). Or I can check the local used bookstore if you like. I just realized that I have 3 Latin books to process for one member, the 14-book Wild Card series and another 20 books in a donation from a second member, 22 books on old-time radio I ordered from amazon.com for a third member, and the 55 book collection I just got yesterday. I think I over-extended myself a bit! To chop, scan, OCR and submit all these books will take a little while. Don't anyone hold your breath! :-) Carrie Cindy <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: -Boy, Carrie--What a collection. I hope some of those are still there when I get around to going to the list to validate something new. I don't think I read A Town Called Alice but many years ago it was a Masterpiece theatre production and I loved it. Which reminds me of another wonderful book that I think I read as well as saw the movie--Three Came Home. The book is autobiographical. The movie starred Claudette Colbert and Sessue Hayakawa. It's a wonderful story of courage and survival. The family is imprisoned--mother and son separately from the father--in Japanese concentration camps for the duration of the war--terrible conditions but they do survive--and come home, as the title states. I haven't checked to see if it's in the collection of being worked on. Cindy __________________________ ________ Yahoo!
