Evan,
Thanks for giving me the URL to Jake's rescan list. I
will add to his list, and I'll copy it and as I have
time I'll check it against the collection and delete
what's already been done, if I can tell. But a thought
just occurred to me--how will I know if the book in
the collection is the one that was rescanned or is the
one that needs to be rescanned. Whoever rescanned it
should have deleted it from Jake's list. Maybe they
will. So I guessI'lljust add to it and also put/keep
the books on the Wish List, since they are wishes.
