Subject: [bksvol-discuss] 24 give aways to submitters
Dear Booksharian Friends,
The books about the prosecutor, Hot Sierra The Covenant by Mitchner, and
Monsieur, the thoroughbreds books, 15 of them, and Tensil, are on their way
to submitters already that makes 20 books gone. Please help me out here. I
really overbought but hate to see these books wasted. I've put in new books
for the ones promised so all of the books on the list below are available as
of the time of this post.
I know Christmas and New Year's Day are coming, but you wouldn't have to
scan these until you have the time.
Is it about a hundred thousand books Jim hopes for. We can do that! With the
24 on this list and the 20 on their way to volunteers who requested them,
that makes 44 new books, almost half a hundred and that's something, a
definite hop forward.
I'll send the following books free to volunteers interested in scanning
them. Anyone you like can validate them or you can put them up on step one.
When the book is approved, please do anything you like with it.
I hope to mail these to a variety of people who have a special interest in
them. I won't be boxing all of them up to send to only one or two people. If
I spread them around, maybe they'll have better chances to be carefully
scanned and validated and added to the collection.
As usual, please send your request and address off list to
airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll post which books are claimed and which are still available. Unless the
submitter notifies the list of what book I've sent, I don't announce who has
what.
Thanks in advance for helping me clear out my book overage and for adding
new books for all of us.

24. Dark Horse by Fletcher Knebel hardback 367 pages, Quinn, an obscure New
Jersey highway official becomes a presidential candidate, I think this is a

reduction of income tax rate coupled with the abolition of all deductions
except a 30 percent human depletion allowance for all
taxpayers. a law requiring all prison guards and wardens to spend at least
one month at a penal institution other than their own, as anonymous
prisoners. Satire? I don't know/!
There are mistakes here I'm sure, but my patience and time are gone for
now. At last check these books weren't in the collection or the books we
had weren't of excellent quality. Feel free to check them.
Thanks,
Always with love,
Lissi
