Paul,
Here is the address to which to send the book that you
want scanned: Benetech
480 S. California Ave., Suite 201
Palo Alto, CA 94306-1609 USA
Probably hardcover is better because they tear the
book apart, as I understand it.
Not every volunteer is on the list and I don't know f
they all check the being scanned list the way we ask
them to--and we make t available several places--but
as far as I know--and apparently the volunteers on the
lst know,no one else is doing it.
Good luck.
Cndy
P.S. In case I have info wrong or someone else knows
somethng I'm also going to send a copy of this to the
list. smile
