Remember, Bookshare was based on the premise that people would share the books they scanned for themselves. I will definitely read the book on landscaping. That's one of the most fun things about Bookshare in my opinion, we can help shape the collection by what we like to read and want to share. Granted, if I were running the show, there are a lot of books in the collection that I think would be a waste of time, but then that's what diversity is all about. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nan Hawthorne" <hathorn@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Just wanted y'all to know I got my new Plustek OpticBook 360 scanner and am in absolute heaven.. I scanned a whole book Friday and was amazed at the accuracy. I don't know if Bookshare wants books I scan for my own use.. some may be pretty obscure. This one was "The Landscape of Anglo-Saxon England" which sends me into ratures but not sure it would many others.. whom should I ask? Nan Hawthorne P.S. My new Celtic music show starts this week on Wednesday!!! It's online at Phoenix Internet Radio http://www.phxinternetradio.com/ - 1 PM and midnight Arizona time. Y'all come!
