It appears that their forwarding from the .com to the .org got lost.

Hi Debra,
Sometimes the entire book is available to view in image form at
http:www.openlibrary.com, or sometimes the first pages like the
table of content can be viewed, again only in image form, on
google books or Amazon, in their "look inside feature." In this
case, I checked and the book isn't available on any of those
three. If you need that help, it's usually best to put in the
subject of your email to this list "need sighted help" so one of
the sighted volunteers knows to read the email to see if they can
help.
However, I'm pretty sure the book didn't have a table of contents
for a different reason. I took a look at the book's page on the
Bookshare "Books in process" page. The person who scanned it is
Marilyn. She's a fantastic scanner. It's extremely unlikely that
she would have missed a page with the table of contents when
scanning. However, you can double check with her. The way to do
that for any book you have checked out is to get the scanner's
email address from the book's history page on Bookshare, and send
them an email with the question you have.
To do that for any book you have checked out, log in to bookshare.
Then go to your "My checked out books" page at
https://catalog.bookshare.org/bookQueueMyCheckouts. Click on the
title of the book (in this case "The Wish in the Bottle.") That
will bring up the book's metatdata page. On that page you will
find a link called "View Book History". Click that link. On that
page, the oldest entry in the book history table will have the
name of the volunteer who scanned the book as a link. If you click
on that link, it will bring up the email address of the volunteer.
Alternatively, the volunteer may have left their email address in
the comments they made when they submitted the book. Marilyn
always does that.
Marilyn is also on this list, so I'm changing the subject line of
the email so she'll know to look at it, too. smile.
I hope that helps!

Thanks Judy, here is the info:
The Wish in the Bottle
by Morna MacLeod
An Apple Paperback
Scholastic Inc. 1997
ISBN 0-590-62970-0
The internet says it is available in paperback, ebook and in
library. Is there a way to view it without buying it?
