Hi scott,
While looking over this list, I noticed some books from Harlequin imprints. I was thinking that Harlequin was one of the publishers that would be donating books soon. Have they changed their minds, or are they only going to be submitting certain imprints, or what is the deal with this?
Thanks for any clarification.

 Volunteers,

 Improving the quality of books in our collection is an ongoing
 effort. We have created a new list to make that easier for those who
 thrive on guaranteeing a quality reading experience for members and
 want to tackle the quality challenge systematically.

 The 300 most popular Fair quality books were identified. Eliminating
 those most likely to be replaced by PQ copies we are left with 179.
 As you pick the titles you want to work on be sure to announce them
 to the group as booka being scanned.

 Under construction: A list of the top 300 Good quality books for
 upgrade.

 Anybody have suggestions for other ways of applying this strategy of
 developing lists that are pre-vetted to be (fairly) PQ safe?
