Okay, if you don't want it back, we shall indeed de-spine and scan it in. Send it to the Bookshare office c/o Marissa, and when she gets it, one of us volunteers will start working on it. Thanks! It seems that there are LOTS of people who like cookbooks. I will try to pick some more up at next month's book sale. Carrie "Shelley L.

I can't use a perfectly good print copy anyway, and my parents have a number of cook books so don't want it. I shall mail it in. But indeed, destroy and donate it, if you guys want. Shelley L.

Are you sure you want to do this? It wrecks the book. I don't know if there's a flat-bed scanner at the office. It wouldn't wreck the book, but it would take someone a few hours to scan your book in. Maybe Marissa or Gustavo knows. I'll ask them when I go in this week (I don't know if the office is open tomorrow or not - I assume not since it's a holiday). BTW, if it's spiral-bound, there's no problem. We can unbind it, scan it, rebind it, and send it back to you. Josh has already sent in the NFB 50th Anniversary cookbook for this. Carrie "Shelley L. Rhodes" wrote: Oh, Kerry I can't wait for these to come out! Hey got a question, can I send you all a cook book to do? It is called the Cook's Encyclopedia to Chocolate, and alas I can't scan it because of those lovely fractions, so it has been sitting here for over a year now. It isn't a very long book, relatively speaking, I think two hundred pages, but the pages are thick. May I send it to you all? Shelley L.

After they're approved, they should be on the site. If anyone finds a mistake in them, please let me know so I can fix it, especially if it's a measurement or some such. I believe that all of the measurements are correct, but one or two errors may have slipped thru my oh-so-careful checking. I have recommended to Marissa that all cookbooks stay in the office, just in case someone has a question about the exact words or numbers in them. In the next few weeks, I should finish up: Omaha Steaks Good Life Guide & Cookbook, Cooking for Two ... or Just for You, and The Microwave Master.
