Hi Valerie.Please don't quit lending your eyes. You and others like you are a very valuable resource to us people who can't see. Without you some books would have a much harder time making it into the collection.

Robert;I was replying to Tracy who said she had poached books in the past. Again, Carrie said she would retain holds on agreement of the scanner and proofreader. In my case, sometimes getting my books shipped back to me can take a while for me to have the text to proof from.I guess I will just quit lending my eyes and only do "my" books that I have bought or requested if people are going to be so nasty about respecting holds or understanding why some of us want to volunteer instead of free reading. I will quit buying books on my series I am supplying if there is going to be so much dissension on whether I can proof books I spent our limited funds on to add to the collection.Y'all sure do know how to ruin a good thing!

I spent lots of money buying books just so I could scan or proof. i do not read anything; just proof and try to help out when people need sight on some books so sometimes my own requests are there longer than others.Please ask before poaching; that really is unkind to those of us who have invested our own money to add books we want to read who never check out, only volunteer!Valerie On Mar 1, 2010, at 10:17 AM, Tracy Carcione wrote:And, frankly, if something has had a "hold for" for several months, and I'm really interested, I might poach.To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
