I got it!! I got it!! I got 'Partisan.' I did what Beverly said and it popped
up. I think one thing I did wrong was using the 'back' button to go to the old
list and not re-clicking the 'check out a book' button (if that makes any
sense).
Problem already: The front matter starts with Arabic page 1 and the body starts
on page 15. What do I do?

Tim,
Did you try what Beverly did--Clicked the Adult content under "Preferences" in
"My Account"? Sometimes even if it says "no", it doesn't really take the first
time.
"Partisan" is still on the Check-out list this morning!
Good luck,
Pam

It wasn't on my list, either. The 48th book was by Robert Heinlein.

Thank you for your kind reassurance, Mayrie. It's still not showing up as a
book I have checked out, but I'll keep checking into my account this evening
and tomorrow.
But I'm also still troubled by why neither Tim nor I could see this title in
the list to begin with, and why it didn't show up in a Search for either of us.
Even when Roger pointed it out as the 48th title from the top, it wasn't there
in my list.
My list of titles "Ready for Checkout" is currently showing 78. Does this seem
right?
(I've been following this forum in an attempt to be better educated in case I
ever do get approved to proof. Now I've learned my lesson about being TOO
curious, though.)

Shouldn't it be in my "checked out" books list? But it says I have no checked
out books. I'm really confused.
