In the middle of the night it occurred to me that possibly I could have a heavy paper strip cut to place on the scanner where the author's name appears. I'm going to give this a try so wish me luck. The book I am using is from the local library. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Hovas To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 5:00 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: vagina monologues My suggestion would be to try a different type of book (i.e. hardback, trade paperback, mass market paperback) since these type of things aren't consistent across book types. Also, if this is what has to be scanned, then I'd recommend letting Carrie scan it in-house since she should be able to trim the pages to remove the author's name when she chops the book. It depends on whether or not there's enough whitespace left between the name and the text to allow her to do it all at once.

Just a suggestion, in case a lot of people want to read it. <Smile> Or would this be a project that is best handled in-house... In a year or so, when Carrie gets caught up, of course. <Smile> Jana ----- Original Message ----- From: Kaitlyn To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:12 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: vagina monologues That is too bad.

The author's name is written down the left side of every page and I'm not willing to spend the amount of time that would be required to achieve a good scan under those conditions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
