Dear Booksharian Friends,
I do this to help submittors get books to scan, and especially with the
check-in page hovering at 100 books, to give the submittors, proofreaders
and Bookshare collection a boost. Freeing house room for this spring's
library book sales is a motive, too. Evan, when navigating between stacks
and boxes, asks why I don't use bookshelves. I've long ago run out of wall
space for them!
If you feel confident you'll scan the books you request, write to me at:
airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with the numbers and names of the books you'd like to scan. It's first come,
first served. Here's hoping anyone who asks gets the books they want.
I would rather be proofreading than typing this list, so my notes will be
brief. You might find out more about the books by checking your library
database or looking them up on Amazon or abe books.
As usual, The books and postage are free and I don't want them back.
Many thanks to all takers!
Always with love,
Lissi
