Maybe he needs to know how to find that fiction; merely saying it's there
wouldn't be enough if he doesn't know how to find it. It has been a while
since I've done a search for a particular type of book.

As a personal comment,
I don’t rely on Bookshare for fiction, except in very rare cases. I’ve
actually told friends that there’s more fiction on BARD and at NLS in general
than I could read in ten lifetimes. . Where I have found Bookshare worth
the membership is in the realms of history, biography and religion. Many
such books are likely to make their way into an NLS catalog belatedly, if at
all.
Again, this is purely a personal view, and we each have our own.
Cheers! JH

It’s nice that bookshare has so many nonfiction books which must be
helpful for professionals, and I understand that some publishers dump books
on us for reasons of their own, but where did the fiction go, and how do I
find it among thousands of technical books? Where is the Bookshare I have
known and loved for years?
