Hi Valerie, Thanks for the clarification. I was pretty surprised when I wrote the message to the list, but did later write to the individual, and asked that the book be returned to the checkout list. It has already been returned, so I'm relieved! I'm glad to hear things are settling a bit at your house. And I hope everyone is feeling better! I, too, highly recommend this book. It is just fascinating!

Sorry for the trouble; it happens WAY too often! FWIW, not wanting to split hairs, but you want to hope the person RELEASES the book, rather than checking it in, because checking it in would mean it is in the approval queue. BTW, folks, I heartily recommend reading Gray Matter: A Neurosurgeon Discovers the Power of Prayer... One Patient at a Time by David Levy, Joel Kilpatrick that Sandi scanned and I proofed after chatting with Dr. Levy via his blog on a friend's recommendation. And, yes, this neurosurgeon actually personally replies to his email. It was a gritty, humbling book sharing success and failure with honesty. Sorry we have been so absent; we have all been dealing with health problems or tech issues in addition to our puppy getting ready to start home service dog training, but we are starting to get back on top of things. Thanks everyone for your patience; Bookshare is our sanity touch point. Smiles! Have a great weekend!

On that page you can always find the e-mail address for folks who have worked on any particular book. Hope that helps you out some time.

I didn't see that information in the "Book Information" page for the book. I did find a name, but not the e-mail on "My Scans in Process," so thanks for the e-mail.
