Hi E, Romances do seem to be the dominate type of book that is submitted to email. It could just be a reflection of the scanning population of Bookshare. Katie Hill Miracles happen not in opposition to Nature, but in opposition to what we know of Nature. -St. Augustine -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of E. Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 3:11 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] comments about step 1 books I notice a lot of books held for weeks and weeks by the same person only to be released. I know this happens for unavoidable reasons sometimes. I have done it myself. But the more we each do this the less likely a long-time-on-step-one book has of ever coming off step 1 and getting to the validation cue. Also, I notice the list seems to have lots and lots of romances on it which seem to stay there. Perhaps we need to submit fewer romances for the moment just until some of the current crop gets worked on. Just a thought. (smile). Peace, E.
