Hi Sarah,
I think that is human nature. I tend to find and scan books I want to read.
I have been putting the word out to others that may have books they are done
with to scan.

Actually, I really like Star Trek books, and in this case I am the scanner
not the validator. There's no guarantee anyone else will scan the book if
I don't. I certainly would not be surprised to find that the no-margine
paperback was the only printing of the book made, so the editing is
required. I'd sure give up if I didn't care about having the book. :-) I
work hard on what i like, but I quickly become a bum and don't attempt to
work on books I don't like.
