Dear Booksharian friends,
I’ve replaced the books a couple of helpful volunteers 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 you’d like to scan.
Oh, 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 you’d like. Scanners like it when they know their work
goes to attentive proofreaders who care about quality. You never know.
I’m trying to stir the pot here. I hope there will be takers sometime
tomorrow... or the next day.
Always with love,
Lissi
