Wow! That's great! It just goes to show that some authors truly do care and
will help if they understand what the purpose is. Good for you. Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Book donated by author!
So I haven't gotten an email from the author Nick Hornby, who I asked to
email me his new book when I met him at a book signing, but I've been to
another signing since. I've already submitted the book A Million Little
Pieces by James Frey (pronounced Fry) to the site, but I went to a reading
of his new sequel to that book, My Friend Leonard. I got my print copy of
the book signed and gave him the same spiel as I'd given to Nick Hornby
about giving his book to bookshare. He did not hesitate, but gave me his
personal email address (not the one on his site that anyone can write to),
and asked me to email him and remind him of where I'd met him and what the
request was. The reading was on July 5th, I emailed him the next day, and
today I received a reply! He attached the acknowledgements, the epigram
and the text of the book to the email! I will need to put them together
into one file and scan in any missing copyright pages and such, and I'd
like to give it a read-through to check it out, but then I will submit and
validate it. I'm so glad that I now know that some authors will be
willing to do this! While I'm putting it all together, may I highly
suggest that everyone read A Million Little Pieces (if I haven't done so
before)? It is an amazing memoir, and truly makes me look at the world in
a new way, and gives me a new determination life. Sounds weird, I know,
but read it and you may understand. Do not read it, however, if you
disapprove of books containing adult content.
Sorry for the lengthy message,
Eliza
