Part of that, of course, is probably the donations from HarperCollins that have 
been pouring in lately, and that Carrie has been adding. Remember, folks, to 
check that list before you scan, because there's a definite possiblity that an 
HC book will replace the same title that is already there, but I fervently hope 
that won't be the case.
