Enkoy. The first book I proofed for bookshare was a biography of Aaron
Copland; although many of the names were familiar to me I had to use
Google to be sure others were spelled correctly; it wasn't until I'd
finished shed the long book that it occurred to me that I could get the
book from the library to check; stupid me; smile

Thanks Cindy! I've not yet finished reading through messages, but wanted
to comment on that particular book while the thought was on my mind. I'm a
fan of classical music, and majored in music for a time in college, so
books of that nature hold particular interest.

If someone hasn't already offered to proofread the Daniel Barenboim book,
I can do so, if someone will scan it.
 I've offered but I can do  others so you can  do it. Scanner, put it
on the checkout list for Jessica.Â

Dear Booksharian friends,
Â
I̢۪ve replaced the books a couple of helpful volunteeteers informed me
were already in the collection with 4 titles I looked up before using them
as replacements so please reread the list below because one of the 4 new
books might be just the book you̢۪d like to scan.
ÂOh, and proofreaders, if you chime in and mention any books you’d
like to proofread, it might get the attention of a scanner who would be
willing to take on the book or books you̢۪d like. ScaScanners like it
when they know their work goes to attentive proofreaders who care about
quality. You never know.
Â
I̢۪m trying to stir the pot here. I hope there will bl be takers
sometime tomorrow... or the next day.
Â
Always with love,
Â
Lissi
