Cindy,
You won't be able to get this list by going to the Advanced Search page on
Bookshare. The Advanced Search code supports sorting books by reverse
publication date, but the form only supports sorting books in the order they
were added to the collection, or sorted by publication date.
The Tech Advisors are trying to get Jake's two links for listing the new
books in English or Spanish added to the site, but there's a question as to
whether or not to continue supporting the latest 100 books list, which the
staff says they'd like to look into first. Dropping it would save Gustavo
from having to update it, but I've been told that Kurzweil uses the New
Books list, so dropping it could cause problems for K-1000 unless Kurzweil
could switch to the new links.

Ah. I had noticed that when I clicked on the list at
Jake's site it looked like the Advanced Search--sort
of. And I did forget to mention to Barbara that one
has to sign in to use Jake's site. When I've used the
Advance Search I use it to quickly look for a
particular title or author. I never noticed that there
was a list of new books. I always get my list from
Jake's site.
And it was your suggestion that has led me to include
his URLs every time I post the books added list.
smile. I'll have to look more carefully at the Avanced
Search next time. smile
