Only problem with what you are telling Tracy is the same as for me. I had to beg for a book on the list, and it was Mary that got it for me and one other person. All the scanners are "attached" to their proofers. I have often asked for a hold to be put on especially books on dogs, and I have never received a reply nor a hold. Also, not every volunteer can wade through the traffic on this list just to get to know the people. Not only that, but I have often felt the clique feeling here, though not towards me in particular. Lets not demand that all volunteers be on this list! Bad idea just to find a scanner which they may not find. (smiles) My opinion, of course.

Have you let anyone know the kinds of books you're interested in proofing? Have you put out an announcement on the list as to what you'd like to proof? A scanner cannot know all proofers, and may not know that you're interested in proofing a given type of book. Maybe what we need is to have volunteers write blurbs or fill out forms where they say what types of books they like. Just a thought. Ann P. -- Ann K.
