Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts. I think what sends me
back to work on the older books is a strong desire for fairness in
that some of these scans are of excellent quality and are not
textbooks that have multiple editions. I agree with Jill about the
textbooks that have a new version every year or two and about the
books in really rough shape. Some of these don't fit that
description though. They're books of poetry and essays as well as
economics and literary criticism. Some of these scans deserve
inclusion in the collection both because of their excellent quality
and because they represent the interests of some of our members. If
someone took the time to scan a book and submit it in excellent
condition, as with 2 books I currently have, I think they do deserve
credit for their work. The problem I can't seem to get around is
that the subjects just don't have a lot of appeal to me. I can't
honestly say that I validate these books as carefully as I am doing
with the mystery I've been working on because the mystery was so
good that I read every word. With these books, a rank spelling and
skimming through the chapters will have to do. In the end, I think
I'm looking for ways to motivate myself as well as ways to find
people who genuinely enjoy these subjects. Thanks for reading my
ramblings and for any ideas that might come to you later on. (smile)
