Sorry folks, I have a life too, and a father who has had a stroke and
now has cancer, I have a lot going on between home and work, I DO NOT
have six hours to spend fruitlessly uploading a file.
If it were possible to send the file I have worked on to someone else to
finish and upload, I'd do that.

MMike,
Thanks for your message to Rose. I have the same feeling: it woulld be
a
double shame if she abandons the book at this point. Rose, like that
old
adage says, "When you reach the end of the rope, tie and knot and hang
on."
Please do not deprive students of a book done with your expertise in
medical
terminology.
All the best,
Sue S.

Tiff
Thanks for saying what I was trying to say, but didn't know how to say
it
<grin>!!
It would be a double shame if Rose's work didn't get uploaded:
(1) She put mucho hours into the edit and that, combined with her
medical
termininology knowledtge, has produced something that will benefit down
the road.
(2) If someone else grabs the book, either they will go though a
duplicate effort or the resulting submission back will be of lesser
quality depriving BookShare users of a better book.
Rose, I'd urge you to do 2 things:
(1) grab the book again.
(2) Have someone with sight watch as you attempt to upload the book
back
to BookShare. You are probably missing some minor, but significant
thing
in the process, that once uncovered will make subsequent book uploads a
breeze.
