Bon vooyage to the beautiful concept of books without barriiers!!  Could the 
NIMAC books be separated since they are not accessible to the general 
readership?  I know there is a link to them, but they should not be on the 
new books page!!!!!!!!

Hi Shannon,

A book being publisher quality doesn't mean people can't download it.
Unfortunately NIMAC books (which are flagged publisher quality) come with
lots of strings attached, one of which is that the books can only be given
to K-12 students. Here's a reprint of my message about pub. quality vs.
NIMAC.

Publisher Quality vs. NIMAC Sourced

Hi Everyone,

It seems as though there is a bit of a misconception in regards to Publisher
Quality and NIMAC sourced books. I can see where this has come from since we
just had a discussion about the limited availability of NIMAC titles.

I guess the first place to start is to say that one does not necessarily
mean the other. Yes, NIMAC sourced books will be flagged with Publisher
Quality, but just because a book is Publisher Quality does *not* mean that
it is NIMAC sourced.

On Friday we added some of the first NIMAC sourced books. We also added some
general publisher sourced books with Publisher Quality.

So, while the title Exploring Literature is NIMAC sourced, titles like A
Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Cristie is not and is available to everyone with
Publisher Quality.

For anyone interested, we added 12 NIMAC titles and 20 other publisher
quality books.

Sincerely,
Jake
