Hi Melissa!
Thanks so much for explaining your search technique on books.google.com. I
have been keeping track of the scanos I fine to ask for help on them all at
once. I was able to correct most of them by following your instructions,
so I will have a few less to ask about. The scan is good, so there aren't
many without your help, but less with it.

Kathy, I can't help you with this passage, but I can explain a little
about the other. I've not tried Amazon peak myself, as I understand you
need to be sighted. However, I've used google books several times. You can
get there by http://books.google.com or by going to the main google site
and clicking on books. Once there, I have found the best results are found
by searching for the book's title in quotes followed by a plus sign,
followed by the passage for the book that you are looking for. Example:
"Daring Rescue At Sonora Pass" + Drew turned away and watched the desert
floor as the wagon raced north.
Books on google books are available either in full text, limited preview,
or snippet view. Books with limited preview or snippet view will have some
pages whose content is restricted. If the passage you are looking for is
on a page that is restricted, the search results will tell you that this
page is restricted.
I hope this was helpful.

I'm stuck again. This time, it's with Daring Rescue at Sonora Pass by
Stephen Bly. There is a place where parts of sentences are left off at
the bottom of page 92. It reads as follows:
The broken shaft of an arrow poked out from the bloody leg wound.
Drew turned away and watched the desert floor as the wagon raced north.

Then, after the page break, it continues normally on page 93 with
"I reckon so," Drew said. "I don't see them."
I tried to use the Google books site and the Amazon Peak yesterday, but,
apparently, one needs to be signed up with both, have an account, or
something, and I don't. I will and do appreciate the help you all are so
generously giving.
I've been off list for quite a while, and have just come back. All my
mail from the list suddenly started bouncing, and I was apparently
unsubscribed by the computer. I got back on for one day, and the same
thing happened again. I think I have it straightened out now, since this
is the third day I've been getting mail. All that wandering is to say
that I missed the information about Google Books and Amazon Peak. Could
someone give me some information about it, please?
Thank you.
