This is very odd. My library has all seven and another's has six of the
seven.
Is this only for certain libraries?

Pamela, thanks for checking World Cat. Now I don't have to check my
libraries an d get discouraging results.Isn't World Cat wonderful? I
was delighted when learned about it from a librarian who assured me it was
available to the public. I was less delighted when I did a search for a
particular book and found it was only available from a library in England,
smile.

Christina,
According to Worldcat, there are no copies available at libraries for the
first three that you mentioned. Boo! I have access to two: Firestorm and
Iron Grey sea only.
Amazon might give me peeks if you want to send a phrase on the page. It
probably won't give us all of the pages you need though.
Let me know if I can help in any way!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Sighted Help with Several Books
Hello. I am currently scanning the Destroyermen series by Taylor Anderson.
The first letter of each chapter is huge; a sighted friend said it takes up
about half the page and runs through about the first six lines of text.
She's helped me with some weird formatting issues in other books recently so
I don't want to ask her to assist me with this series as well.
Is there anyone that could look up these books on Google or Amazon Peek? I
don't have any specific page numbers yet but I will in a couple hours. The
only caviat is that I'm hoping to get answers fairly quickly. These are all
library books and I can only keep them for a few weeks, including renewals.
I'm willing to wait a few days for answers but I can't do much longer than
that.
So far, this series is seven books long. I'd need help with the first
paragraph or so of each chapter though I hope I can figure out most of this
on my own. I'm basically looking for a go-to person to help with the
difficult bits.
Some of the titles include: Into the Storm, Distant Thunders, and Rising
Tides.
Thank you.
Christina
