Hi everyone,

We’ve fixed it so the book is up and running. There should be one version with 
only Canada rights and one with a bunch of other countries, US included. Sorry 
for the confusion and delay!

Best,

Madeleine

My guess is that it showed up in the Google search as a cached page, basically 
history. The same thing with book share. They don’t remove the link from 
history, but it won’t show up in a current search since it is not currently 
available. Knowing that it had been available as a PQ book means it’s likely to 
show up again as a Publisher Quality book after they repair whenever caused it 
to be withdrawn. In other words you could scan it, but I would think the risk 
of it being replaced with the high if that bothers you. Ideally someone from 
within book share could let you know why it was withdrawn and the likelihood of 
it being replaced or not.

Sorry for the frustration… I certainly understand!

Yes, it seems that Bookshare should take it off the site since it has been 
withdrawn. That sounds very strange.

Well, dang it, that's frustrating.  That may be why it isn't showing up on the 
bookshare site search, too, even though it shows up on google.

giving the synopsis, etc., says it was withdrawn, under status. I wonder why it 
wasn’t removed since it was withdrawn. So there is nothing to download. (big 
sigh)

Hi Sue,

I found it in the collection. smile.  Here's a link to it: 
https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/808680

I don't know why books aren't showing up when we search for them on the new 
website using the bookshare search function. I'm running into that myself off 
and on. I found this one by searching for it on Bookshare using Google.

Hi All,

There is a book I would really love to read, Natchez Burning by Greg Iles. It 
isn’t in the collection, but if someone wants to scan it I would gladly proof 
it. It is a long book though. I don’t understand how to request it on a wish 
list on Bookshare website.

Thanks,

Sue S.
