Thanks, Gerald,
I have asked Gustavo, to no avail. The other day I
think I saw it on the adminstrator's approval list.
Just now it wasn't there, so for fun I checked the
collection and now it's in. Yay!! I still don't know
why it was rejected in the first place--I guessed
possibly the copyright info, because it was weird, and
wrote a note with a direct submission of the book to
Gustavo.
Well, I guess a squeaky wheel does get some oil, and I
do understand how short-handed they are. I wish they
could use some of the in house volunteers to act as
volunteer coordinator or would get some more money.
Maybe soon (smile).
