I'd be happy to proof any books you scan; other people may want to do them, but
if you submit them and no one takes them I will, assuming I can get them from
my library. I have 3 books to do first. I don't mind doing rough copies, so if
you put in the comments that they are only rough scans and haven't been
preproofed they might be left for me--or you canput a Hold for Cindy on them.
