Lora,
The books aren't shredded, just chopped, so they can still be read
afterwards, just don't have a binding.
Bookshare's validation of a book related to playing cards would probably
depend on whether or not Carrie's interested in the book, as well as how
much work it is. She's got her hands full with NYT Bestsellers, but might
be willing to work it in sometime if it's not too big a project since she's
a big fan of Bridge. Why don't you write her offlist at ckarnos@xxxxxxxxx
and ask her.
Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Submitting Books to Bookshare for a Scan
I saw somewhere that we can submit books directly to Bookshare for scanning.
I assume they shred them so that the ADF can hold them, and that we won't
get the books back, because who'd want a shredded copy?
What if a book has something that will be difficult vo validate? For
instance, books about card games where, when they show the cards, they have
little picture icons of the cards, instead of something like js, qs, 9c,
etc.? Would the Bookshare staff try to fix these, or would they decline the
book, because it would be a lot of work?
Thanks,
Lora
