Oh, that would be so awesome! Unfortunately, I don't think Bookshare would 
approve of such a thing because more than one person working on a book at 
the same stage, be it scanning or validating, could get kind of messy, but 
it's always been my dream to have access to that book! Take care.

Ya know, it would be really awesome if ten or 12 people got copies of the
joy of cooking, last year's edition and worked as a team to make a copy
available on bookshare. I would be willing to be a part of this team. Any
takers?
