It sure would be nice to have a combo box to let us to only look at the shape book that we are interested. If we can sort by format, then let's sort by condition of book if possible.

Another reason the step 1 page is so long is the 60 to 70 books which have a poor or fair rating. About half of these are romances in truly deplorable shape. Please start your validating with a "excellent" rated book.E. At 07:52 PM 9/12/2007, you wrote:Wonderful request. I don't know when the next newsletter to members come out, but I suggest you send this to Lisa Friendly and ask her to include it in the newsletter--or on the bookshare home page. Maybe then we'll get some members who aren't volunteers to volunteer. One reason the step one page is so long now is that we're restricted to 5 books at a time. I used to figure that as long as I was going to do the books I'd take them off the download list, and I know other people operated under that assumption, too, but then some people squawked that if left on other people would take them (they didn't, as it turned out, and I got them eventually) and the 5-book limit was put in.
