Jamie,
You have already scanned Family Huddle by the Manning family. I proofread it
and it is in the collection. So, don't try to do it again. *Smile*

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.

I could not find Witch and Wizard in the collection. The Hunger Games and

I couldn't find Captivate in the collection, but Tricks is there. I think
Carrie said she would work on the chapter books.
