Melissa,
No change to Harlequin. We tried to edit out the ones that we already have an agreement
with. Those who are "maybes" we left in.
I think that the sort of second check you are doing is a good idea. Who knows
who might start sending us books tomorrow!

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?
