oh dear; it sounds like a quite job and one that will take quite a long
while;I think I'll withdraw my offer; my descriptions aren't always as
clear to blind people as the they seem to me an d I don'twant to ask Susan
for help with editing them; besides, I'm getting up in years adn can't
guarantee
that I';ll be around long enough o finish it.

Well, I think you have proceeded as far as you can right now until and if
someone steps forward to scan it for you. Another possibility is to ask the
publisher to contribute an ebook version of it to Bookshare themselves.
However, Bookshare strongly discourages any of us from contacting
publishers about that kind of thing. You might ask the publisher liaison to
contact them though. I forget the publisher liaison's email address, but
volunteers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx should be able to put you in contact.

Roger,
I do not have the capability to scan it or process it at any level. If
someone could take the book and do the whole process, I would be most
grateful for that.
Please tell me how you would like me to proceed and what you would like
me to do.
Thank you.
Appreciatively,
Bob

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

*To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
*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 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
