I already told Lissi that Far Futures edited by Gregory Benford is in the collection with an excellent rating. So you can ignore that one.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Free books to submittors, update


Dear Booksharian Friends,



Six books are on their way to submittors. A few people who have asked for books before have written to say they need time to catch up with the books I sent them in previous mailings. I admire them for their honesty. Mike wrote to say that Code of the life maker is already in the collection. I've replaced it with another book and added one more. Here's the amended list.



Please let me know off list if you see anything here you'd like to scan. You can offer these books to any proofreader and keep the books when you finish with them.



Always With Love,



Lissi
