Vivian and others;
About a year and a half ago, Scott came up with a neat idea to have people
adopt series to ensure better completion. I signed up to captain (and saying I
would proof or scan, preferably proof) any of the books I had started series or
complete sets of. Because incomplete older series can be expensive to
complete, it takes a while to find reasonably priced copies or get them through
inter library loans.. You can find the list at the following link, although I
believe it is not very screen reader friendly, if memory serves me:
https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Series+Captains+List
Below is the first email when I mentioned some of the larger series I have a
substantial number of, although I cannot find them all in the series captain
list. Unfortunately I had a computer crash around that time and lost some
emails on the topic or didn't do a good job of following up. Working on
acquiring books on a fixed income is slow, so I love when someone else can scan
and I can ask questions if it is one of the few volumes I do not have ready
access to.
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks!
Valerie
