I think that the related ISBN is there when it is a publisher quality
addition and the version that the publisher submitted is the eBook
version. The eBook would have its own ISBN and the print version's ISBN
is the related ISBN. I think that means that you are out of luck unless
your copy contains image descriptions. But it might be a good idea to
check with the Bookshare staff just to be absolutely sure.

“Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in
telepathy? — in ancient astronauts? — in the Bermuda triangle? — in life after
death?
No, I reply. No, no, no, no, and again no.
One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst
out "Don't you believe in anything?"
Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement,
and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how
wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous
something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.”

Hi all,
I have a book, already scanned that I thought was not already in the bookshare library, but now I am not sure. The book that I am interested may be
https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/1241959
I have "The New Space Opera" by edited by Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan. A few months ago, I thought I checked the library and that book was not in it. Now, I find "The New Space Opera 2" listed. (the link at the beginning of this email). But the cover picture is for the volume 1 that I have and in the book description in addition to the ISBN it says "related ISBN." The first ISBN is not for my book, but the second "related ISBN" is. Sometimes two ISBNs means there is one for the hardcover and one for the paperback, or it could be the copy in the library really is volume 2, and the related ISBN is to indicate there is also a volume 1. I have the paperback, volume 1. Since I am not a bookshare member, I cannot do the simple thing of downloading the book and checking if it is the same as mine. Could someone do that for me? The table of contents is:
INTRODUCTION... 1
SAVING TIAMAAT - Gwyneth Jones... 6
VERTHANDI'S RING - Ian McDonald... 24
HATCH - Robert Reed... 39
WINNING PEACE - Paul J. McAuley... 66
GLORY - Greg Egan... 88
MAELSTROM - Kage Baker... 113
BLESSED BY AN ANGEL - Peter E Hamilton... 143
WHO'S AFRAID OF WOLF 359? - Ken Macleod... 158
THE VALLEY OF THE GARDENS - Tony Daniel... 170
DIVIDING THE SUSTAIN - James Patrick Kelly... 202
MINLA'S FLOWERS - Alastair Reynolds... 234
SPLINTERS OF GLASS - Mary Rosenblum... 291
REMEMBRANCE - Stephen Baxter... 316
THE EMPEROR AND THE MAULA - Robert Silverberg... 334
THE WORM TURNS - Gregory Benford... 379
SEND THEM FLOWERS - Walter Jon Williams... 401
ART OF WAR - Nancy Kress... 436
MUSE OF FIRE - Dan Simmons... 454
If the stories in the book in the library are different, it must really be the second volume. If the stories are the same then I will not submit my copy.
If someone could help...
Thanks,
Misha
