Hmm, that's interesting. Does one need to fill out a form when sending a wish list request? How do the scanners look over the wish list on the site?

Hello:

Bookshare members and volunteers send the title, author, and ISBN of any
book they'd like added to the collection. Then, it's added to the wishlist.
The idea is that scanners can then look at the wishlist and pick a book from
there to scan. You can also post it here, and a scanner might contact you if
they're interested in scanning it. I believe the email address for sending
wish list requests is wishlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, but don't quote me on that.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I didn't know one could put a wish list. How does that work? I definitely
had books in mind, but not since I started using Amazon I used my wish list
there so I could keep track of the books I already bought and scanned.

Hi all,

I just sent this to the wishlist, and thought I'd post it here today.
If anyone is interested in scanning it, I'll gladly proofread. I heard
about it this afternoon on Public Radio, and it sounds really
interesting.

Vanished: The Sixty-Year Search for the Missing Men of World War II by
Wil S. Hylton (Author)
Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: Riverhead Hardcover (November 5, 2013)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1594487278
ISBN-13: 978-1594487279

Review from Publisher's Weekly:  Journalist Hylton highlights the
efforts to find missing American military personnel lost during WWII
in the Pacific theater. The focus of the story is Dr. Pat Scannon, an
M.D. with a doctorate in chemistry who became fascinated with the
wreckage of American military aircraft while on a 1993 diving
expedition in the Republic of Palau. The book follows Scannon as he
establishes the Bentprop project and leads repeated private
expeditions to Palau to search for the crash sites of the missing
aircraft. One aircraft, a WWII bomber, becomes his obsession, and
Hylton's story traces Scannon's decade-long quest to find it while
highlighting many different and important aspects of the search for
America's lost military personnel and recreating the lives, training,
and combat experience of the young crewmen who manned the lost
aircraft. Hylton also describes the physiological and emotional impact
that MIA status has on the surviving families of the lost men, and he
details the extensive research necessary to locate the remains of the
aircraft; the active role of the military's Joint MIA/POW Accounting
Command; and the patience and time necessary to achieve success. It&'s
a well-told story of WWII heroism and tragedy that demonstrates that
the missing are not forgotten.
