Hopefully bookshare will bring it over from Project
Gutenberg. Someone scanned E. Philips Oppenhiem's The
Prince of Sinners, which was also on Project
Gutenberg. Before I validated it, I wrote three times
asking Gustavo if they could bring it over from PG and
why should I validate it since it was there. Since I
received no answer and someone had gone to the trouble
of scanning and submitting the book, I did validate
and approve and upload it.

I don't know if the PG version can be read in Braille
or Daisy as is. Tony could probably tell us. I do
know, because I used the PG version as a comparison,
that it doesn't have page breaks or page numbers, at
least Prince of Sinners did not.  Maybe that's why
bookshare isn't bringing over or requesting PG books
any more--if indeed they are not.
