Yes, I was just going to respond to Allison's note as well. I have read nearly
every book on this list of her's, and while they're not necessarily on my
favorites' list, they were most definately enjoyed. If Allison or others don't
have them in scanned format, I will be willing to scan some of them myself. I
am minus a scanner at the moment, but in a weeks time I will return home and
get right on it.
This brings me to another question. Is there a page on bookshare, or even a
listserve or something where people can post what books they are currently in
the process of scanning or editing? This has been three times recently that I
have scanned a book not currently on bookshare, and just as I'm about to submit
it I notice that it recently has been posted by someone else.
Additionally, it doesn't appear as if even the wishlist page is updated very
often.

Hi Allison,
That's an impressive list. IT's disconcerting to see how manyof them
are not on Bookshare. I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest that you contribute
them. Do you have them in scanned form by any chance? Thanks.
Peter
