Dear Booksharian Friends, especially Scanner Friends,
Please help Bookshare by requesting some of the books below. I’ll mail them
postage free for you to keep and scan for a designated proofreader or to put up
for anyone. Just ask, not on this list but at my personal email which is
airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Pretty please? first come first served... We’ll
probably be mailing next Thursday.
The titles don’t reflect my beliefs. I’m listing what’s here and not censoring
though I admit I have chucked out a book once in a great while.
Once I mail you the books I won’t ever ask if you’ve scanned them or not but
this is an honor system where I trust your good intentions to scan the books
you get from me.
I will be adding at least 25 more books soon which will include some you’ve
seen before still hoping to be placed. Sure books can hope, or maybe it’s that
I can hope for them.
And please lend me a hand and let me know if any of these have entered the
collection since I checked them last.
Wherever you’re finding books, keep those scanners humming. Every book adds
depth and diversity to our Bookshare library.
Oh, and we all get time off for the eclipse. If you aren’t using your eyes to
observe it, tune into the birds. They’ll provide an exciting commentary.
The list follows my name.
Always with love,
Lissi
