To any fans of Russian Literature: Alexander Solzhenitsyn died today at the age of 89. I went and checked the Bookshare collection and only 4 of his books were listed and only one was a volume of The Gulag Archipelago, a three volume history of the Russian & Soviet Prison system. If anyone would be interested in scanning the other two volumes, or other Books by him, especially the novels, I would be interested in validating them though both jobs will take time as most of his books are very long. While I was looking I checked Michael Sholokhov's name and found only one of his books listed. I don't know how long it will take or if anyone would be interested in scanning his work but I would also be interested in validating them. His works are available in paperback and I could scan them if I could get a decent copy. The Gulags are very large books and I could not handle books that large and thick as a scanner. But I could work on any of the books to validate though these would all be a long project. Solzhenisyn was working on a "compendium" of his works which, considering his works, I assume to mean a "complete works" rather than a summarization of them, which would be virtually impossible even for him. Any offers? Amy omsm
