Guess I'd better proofread my stuff before emailing. I was going through my
history, not mystery. I will definitely search and see if any of the books
that are shown to be withdrawn have been replaced by newer copies. What are
publishers getting at when they don't replace books? Is this their way of not
wanting us to have access to them. I'm just curious.

Hi Barb,
Are you searching for the books on the Bookshare site and not finding them,
or are you looking back in your book history or perhaps using a link you
bookmarked to the books last year?
I'm asking because usually when I find that a book I downloaded is withdrawn
its because it has has been replaced with a newer copy. When Bookshare does
that, the newer version gets assigned a totally new page and book number, and
old bookmarks or links from your downloaded book history won't take you to the
current version.
Occasionally I've also found that publishers have withdrawn their publisher
quality books from the Bookshare collection, without providing a newer copy. I
don't know why publishers do that, but it does seem to happen.
Does that help make sense of what you're experiencing?

there but, why are books like that gone?
