sounds good Scott.

I have several of the Voyageur Press books here so that is why I am wondering, smile.

Shelley,

Robin is offline this weekend but several of us have embarrassingly revealing timestamps on our correspondence on this whole publisher thing this weekend. (Bets on who will fall asleep at their desks on Monday?)

My strong assumption is that WB has been approached. Let me check this and Voyager/Voyageur on Monday. ok?

hey Scott,

Has World Book been approached at all.  They have some awesome educationa
things I don't mind slogging through them, though smile this would
definitely be a case where PQ might be a blessing.

Also is

Voyager

And Voyageur Press the same thing?

As the latter has a huge selection of books that I would love to see in the
collection.

This publisher thing is very murky sometimes.

Sorry.  I'm learning how to use this new equipment and I forgot to run
spell
check.  Jaws is saying the words correctly but not displaying them the
right
way on the Braillient 80 cell Braille display.

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you
forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be
sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way
people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want
the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of
the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter

Scott,  the "imprint" column in the table on the page you sent has URLS
instead of names in many of its entries.

Volunteers,

Thanks to Carrie we already have the list of Bookshare's Publisher
Partners
online and attached.

Shortly it will be integrated into the online Volunteer Manual as a link
and
guidance will be included on how to select books in this era of rapid
transformation of the publishing industry.

As has been suggested, check this list if you wish to avoid selecting
publishers whose PQ books might soon displace your submission. A
proactive
stance is to develop a list of personal favorite publishers who are not
on
the list and search a site like Amazon to develop a list of books you
would
like to submit.

Here is the URL on the wiki. It will be kept updated as the authority
source
for your use.

https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Publisher+Partners

The most recent spreadsheet is attached. It is also downloadable at tthe
URL
above.
