The Bookshare staff is working hard today to clear the list. Gustavo did not

Whoever it is seems to be working to clear the admin

p.m. PST and I keep checking Jake's list and finding
that more books have been added.
Was Gusatavo ill? Did he approve all these books in
advance? Or is someone working very hard and overtime
today to clear the list?
