I agree, though I'd say less than 3 months. I'd say
one month. In the case of Julian's Cat, remembering
the discussion about a poem in it here on the list, I
opened it to see if it was Gary's book, and it is.
It's been released, probably accidentally, since it
was by the same person, numerous times, and then also
by a "bookshare volunteer."

Gary, I didn't download the book and I didn't see any
comments, so I have no idea why it's back on page one.
Cindy Dresden or something like that is the person who
was working on it, and I don't think she's on this
list. I think Lissi, who kindly is not using the name
"Cindy" and I are the only Cindy's here--thouhh now
that I tink of it, I don't think I know her last name.
