A lot of them are Ark--and then I see that a lot are
Faulkner books, which I think AMy will take, perhaps,
sooner or later when and if she's able to get the
right kind of machinery.
If I see them staying for a long time, maybe I'll take
some when I finish other things and just not do a
careful reading but just check pagination and do a
spell-check. I've done a coupleof books in the past
that people have asked for that I started to read and
gave up on but did the minimum and validated with
spell-check on so I caught some stuff. Interestingly,
they were excellent scans--I didn't find much wrong
other than some formatting where there were charts or
photographs.
