Julie, Gustavo would be the person who would know the answer, and I don't ever recall him ever jumping in to correct anything on the list. I know the issue isn't addressed on the website or in any instructions that I've seen provided by Bookshare, so I'm wondering if they ever gave it any thought. I think the issue depends on whether you consider the primary novel or the book the core content. While the excerpt isn't core to the main story, my impression is that it's core to the book. The publisher does want it included in the book, or it wouldn't be there. However, that doesn't mean Bookshare considers it core content, so I've written Gustavo to find out what the official policy is and will let the list know when I hear back from him. If he doesn't get back to me in a couple of days, then I'll give him a call.

My impression would be that they are core content since the excerpts I have seen always have their own copyright notice on the copyright page. I'll see if I can't get Gustavo to clarify this.

I personally do scan that. I know some who don't. It's not considered core content, so if it doesn't scan well, it's OK to leave it out, but whatever scans well, I leave it in. That includes the advertisements and all that. My attitude is, if it's in the print book and can lead sighted readers to read something else, if at all possible, I put it in my scans. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Now an Avon representative! Feel free to contact me if interested.

Preview of another book? If a book has that, do you also scan that? You know, like at the end when there is sometimes "another book by the same author".
