The Lego Star Wars book finally came in and it is too big for my scanner,
and laid out in such a way that I might have to scan each page 3 or 4 times
to get all of the text for the page.
I suggest that if members want this book (it was a #1 best seller) that
Bookshare should process it on their bigger and faster scanner.
