Dear Everyone, I'm sorry for responding to a post that was already answered. Gotta curb my tendency to hop around among the messages.

It's OK to add the book you scanned which contains both short novels together, but knowing they're already available may take some of the pressure off. Jamie Yates scanned them and she does great work so the copies we have should be pleasant reads. There are other examples in Bookshare of books that are available separately and as part of collections. They give readers the choice of downloading individual novels or bigger files with two or more novels at once. I know this is the case with some fantasy series like The Dark is Rising series or the Prydain Chronicles or both. Each of those contain 5 volumes! Back to Anne Perry. Shelley Rhodes, Cindy Rosenthal and I worked on A Christmas Visitor, yet another of Perry's Christmas novellas and I'm embarrassed to say I noticed that there's an R missing from the author's name in the copyright information. Did I do that? Goes to show how our boo booz can come back to haunt us, as in A Ghost of Christmas Past.

I must confess I feel quite guilty reading how all of you are slaving away to get books in the collection, and here I am shirking my responsibilities. I started reading it and discovered that only the second half of the book is messed up and so I've decided to fix it myself. I really want it in by Christmas. thanks for the offer though.

If you want it in the collection by Christmas I cannot do it. I have two books ahead and other projects right now, and Christmas itself. Let me know.

I just got done scanning a four hundred page novel, it's actually two novels in one, A Christmas Guest and A Christmas Secret by Anne Perry. But, unfortunately there's rather a big catch. I just now discovered that all of the letter y's are actually ts. Is anyone willing to take this Herculean task on? I'd do it only I have three pages of dialogue to Modernize for school, and am leaving for Portland in a week. I even optimized this baby and it still messed up. Julia
