Hi,
The book Kevin's talking about averages more than one graphic per page and I
fear most of the graphics provide valuable info that should be described.

BookShare membership is $50 per year. They have many volunteers who both
scann and review the books before making them available to members. I don't
know for sure but I imagine they could scann a book that you send and make
it available to all members. I am pretty sure they use Open Book to do
this. I have it myself and it does a very good job with most books.
however, keep in mind that OB is designed to ignore pictures and graphs on
the pages. Given that this book on music notation may have a lot of
pictures or graphs, I am sure you will get many confusing pages. I believe
the volunteers concentrate on the text, so I don't think they would spend
any time if at all in fixing the mistakes caused by the graphs. However, if
this book is more like a dictionary with small pictures and a lot of text
explaining the uses of the signs, I think you could get most of it with OB.
I believe that in order to get services from RFB, you need to be a student.
So, if you are a student, you can get their help and this should not cost
you.

Dear All,
I recently purchased a copy of "Music Notation" by Gardner Reed. This
is the bible of print notation conventions. I asked prior to buying the
book and found that it was not part of the collection of RFB&D or Book
Share. Since I don't know how either of those services work, I'd like to
know which of them is the best to go to and ask them to consider including
this book in their collection. Failing that, are there services that would
scan an entire book into PDF for a fee? I don't own a Sara or Open Book and
don't want to buy one for this purpose.
Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion as to how to make this book as
accessible as possible, I'd love to know. Thanks, Kevin
