Susan, you and Larry are bother highly valued!!!!! Larry scans books that
otherwise would not be scanned, not only wonderful history books of all kinds
(tomes--books of 800 pages or more) Such as World at Arms and From Colony To
Superpower, Empire of Liberty, and the Hitler one I'm working on now) but
obscure books that have such bad print it is almost impossible for the scan to
be readable, e.g., The Lovely Wanton. If he had not scanned it and willingly
mailed the unobtainable-to-get-in-any library book to me the collection would
not have in it one of the best historical fiction books (biography) I've had
the pleasure of reading.
And Susan, I'm sure you do a superb job of proofing, but what I value most is
your willingness to help other volunteers such as me. People, without Susan's
help the book "Medal of Honor" would have no comprehensible picture
descriptions--
Cindy
