Your confusion is probably due to the fact that Carrie oftten scans books that then are put on the step 1 page to be validated. I used to think she did these at home but apparently they are done in-office. However, these are not the N.Y. Times bestsellers. I would be interested to know where others get their information about new books other than the Washington Post Book World. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Yates, CPhT To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 7:18 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Best sellers that aren't making it into the collection I do remember, quite a while ago, someone saying that the NY Times Best Sellers needed to be done in house so they would be as close to perfect as possible. I do not remember who it was (Carrie, Lisa, Claire, it may have been long enough ago that it was Gustavo, I don't remember). I thought they just got scanned in house and went to step 1 for validation by regular volunteers. I didn't know they also got validated in house.
