Hi all!
OK. Ann, it is the Romeo and Juliet play and I have said it is a play
in my previous emails!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it's not a novel!!!!!!!!!
All the novels are already in bookshare!!!! Secondly, I gave you guys
the info that was provided to me by my teacher! Ali, you're right.
Your email is the only one that seems to understand my situation! I
also wanted to let you guys know that I got an audio version of that
play/whatever from my teacher in a CD. My teacher also scanned it,
but it's not readable. The audio version is ok, but it doesn't have
page numbers and stuff. If that's the only help I can get, I am ok.
Since I am not getting anything from anywhere. If Bookshare can scan
it, it would be nice as I would be able to navigate it, but I totally
understand that they don't have a written permission by the publisher
to write screenplays and stuff. Thanks for all your help. I would
hardly deal with what I have. Thanks!
