It does not have to be cut up, but some people do because that makes for
a cleaner and better scan. I cringe at the idea of cutting up a book
myself. Cindy was offering to proofread it for you, not scan it. She can
speak for herself, but I don't think she has the capability of scanning
the book. The process is for one volunteer to scan it and then submit it
to the checkout list where another volunteer checks it out by
downloading it and then proofreads it before submitting it for approval.
The charts and graphs you mention are going to make this one a difficult
book to scan and to proofread. Personally, I will bow out because of
this. My blindness and my scanning software and hardware make that kind
of thing almost impossible for me. There are some others here who might
have the expertise, though. Since you want to have it turned into a
Bookshare ebook for you I suppose your own ability to participate in
that process is limited too, but if you registered as a volunteer and
could scan it I expect that some other volunteer would proofread it for you.

Cindy,
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your willingness to help. I am also sighted but the print keeps getting smaller and smaller and it is more and more difficult for me to do things close up and to read. My comprehension improves very significantly when a document is read to me. I think I have had some level of increasing dyslexia as I have aged.
I don’t know, but I understand the book has to be cut up to be processed. That is perfectly all right.
If it is possible, I would be most grateful if you would please save the pieces for me and send them to me so I can have them reassembled if possible for reference or so I will at least have the pictures, graphs, and diagrams.
The book has 399 pages with many photographs, charts, and diagrams. I don’t know if it is possible, but if those non-text items (pictures, graphs, and diagrams) could be reproduced in large form that would be tremendously helpful to me.
Just having the text in an audiobook format would be marvelous.
I will work on locating a copy of the book. It is Long out of print and is somewhat of a collectors item.
What quality level of books do you need? It seems unlikely that having the dust jacket or the cover being perfect condition is important.
Please advise me so I may do that which is optimal and effective.
Appreciatively,
Bob

*Subject:* *Competitive Shooting request number 00617969*
Good morning,
Allison Hilliker at Customer Support suggested that I write you
to ask for help.
Please help make a copy of the book Competitive Shooting by A.
A. Yur’ Yev, ISBN 0-935998-53-5, be prepared for and made
available to Book Share so I may access the audio version.
This is the seminal book on Olympic level competitive shooting
which was written in the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
Having this book available in the audio version will be a great
benefit to me.
Please tell me what I may do to assist with the preparation of
this book so that it will be available for older shooters who
still have adequate distance vision but whose near vision is
challenged.
Please contact me by email at bsiinobs@xxxxxxxxx
<mailto:bsiinobs@xxxxxxxxx> or by telephone at 805-995-2233.
Thank you very much for your assistance in preparing this book
for Bookshare distribution in the audio format.
Appreciatively,
Bob Snyder
