It took 4-5 weeks for my last book to finally be accepted and put into the collection. I know Madeleine is busy, but it seems a bit excessive, precisely for the reason Cindy gives--submitters send the book back to the library. It took about a month for Dharma Vahini to come bouncing back, too.

The date of the "Accept action is April 2 and today is the 9th; I suppose I'd better renew the library book if it will be quitett a lot longer before I get an aApproval notie
