Smile, if of course they are willing to do it. Took me over a year to get
one of my text books. Much easier to scan.

That is why students who can hear need to use RFB&D as well as Book Share.
RFB&D's readers will describe, pictures, and read statistics. If people send
the books to RFB&D and give them enough time, the books can be read onto
tape. I am sure most of you guys already know this but for those who don't,
I thought that this information might be helpful.

Offering a higher reward for validating textbooks or technical

materials on certain topics--psychology, history, neurology, language and
linguistics--but you couldn't possibly pay me enough to get me to validate
an economics book. <grin> I also have an idea that if someone is going to
use a book for a class, the book needs to be in really good shape. There's
nothing more frustrating than trying to interpret the contents of a text and
learn from it at the same time. And if you're doing the work from a textbook
and reading it for a class it can be almost impossible to do a good editing
job at the same time.
