Misha,

Nice collection development thinking to focus on a new series! A quick check 
on a couple of the titles showed that we didn't have them yet.

Just a note of reminder to the list. Remember to check thoroughly before 
selecting a book to scan and before you begin work on proofing something in 
the Checkout List. The alert system we have set up with notices of new 
publishers, books being scanned, etc. are helpful but no substitute for that 
last minute check using the process outline in the Volunteer Manual:

Wow!  When I went away for a short vacation with my older brother a couple 
days ago, the list was drowsing along with only a few emails.  I come back, 
boom, hundreds of emails.

Anyway, I have started to scan a series of 10 science fiction books called 
Classics of Modern Science Fiction.

The series was published in the 1980s and the stories are mostly from the 
1940s and 1950s.  These are books that are described by the series editor 
and in the foreword by Isaac Asimov as overlooked and out of print at the 
time of the publication of this series.  So far I have scanned and read at 
least some part of 5 of them and agree that these are underappreciated.  I 
am really pleased to have the opportunity to add them to the bookshare 
library.

The first book in the series is really what caught my attention though, 
because it was one of the books I listed back when we had the personal 
favorite book poll.  So here is the series ...

Men, Martians and Machines by Eric Frank Russell
The Joy Makers by James Gunn
The Shores of Another Sea by Chad Oliver
The Classic Philip Jose Farmer 1952-1964
The Classic Philip Jose Farmer 1964-1973
The Forgotten Planet by Murray Leinster
The Paradox Men by Charles L. Harness
Unearthly Neighbors by Chad Oliver
Shadows in the Sun by Chad Oliver
Greener Than You Think by Ward Moore

Well, clearly the series editor, George Zebrowski thinks Chad Oliver is an 
overlooked writer.

Misha
