MessageOf course. Did you happen to inform Bookshare of the duplicate books
you found? If not, then send them a message at admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
BTW, I've already reported the two duplicate books by Robin Cook.

I am behind on my e-mail, however, I was going through a category last night
and notice some titles are repeated more than once for what appears to be
exactly the same book, same edition, same copyright year. Wouldn't this
inflate the numbers of books on the site?

Gustavo doesn't show it on Bookshare's home page yet, but I happened to do
a
couple of searches using the Advanced Search page earlier and found that
the collection has 23,774 books in English and 274 books in Spanish.
That's
a total of 24,048 books in the collection. That leabes three and a half
months to break the goal of 25,000 by the end of the year.
