Ah, Jerald, I have two thing that help. A lot of free time, smile, cable TV is really disappointing, smile. And a fast scanner and up to date programs, and a Braillenote. I love to read so scan and then edit on the BN. Will attack the Guinness book tomorrow, smile. Thanks guys I know it will be wanted, and have several more in the pipeline, in various stages of production. Shelley L.

I remember looking at one a long time ago and would like to see it again. I don't think it's necessary to scan any previous year's editions though, since they will contain the same records or records that have been surpassed and are no longer world records. Also, from what I remember when I was young, the information on a given record often mentions recently held records and instances where the record was almost broken. I expect that the book is going to be a pain to clean up, too. I'd suggest adding the 2004 edition to your apparently long list of books to be scanned and postponing the decision to scan other editions until after you've finished scanning 2004. So, Shelley, what book will you come up with next? Wish I was as fast at scanning as you are. Hopefully, I'll get there after I've scanned a few more books.

I have the 2004 edition that my brother brought home from our Library. The library has about ten or so other years too, including the original, or I think it is, don't quote me on it though. Would this be interesting? Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
