Okay, will copy the dust jacket and send it to you later this afternoon. Carrie

although since I have an Optacon, it's probably faster and simpler just to
check anything that comes up as I read along.
However, would you happen to have the dust jacket for this book? If so, would
it be possible for you to run it through the scanner and beam the info over? I
can include the synopsis from the paperback edition in the Long Synopsis
field, but I don't feel that it would be right to include it in the book
itself, since it isn't actually a part of the edition you scanned. But I do
like to put that info in the book whenever I possibly can. I always include it
in any books I scan, and in any books I validate whenever possible, since I
generally try to get a copy of the edition that was scanned. Obviously, it's
not essential, but I would sure be grateful if you could do it.
Thanks very much.
Evan

The book is still in the Bookshare office, so another option is to email me
and ask about the scannos. I can always take a look at the book and let you
know.
Just a suggestion, Carrie
Evan Reese <mentat1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: No biggie. Comparing
the number of page breaks to the page numbers near the end of the book, I
am sure that all of the page breaks are in place. So I am just going to
pick up the paperback copy that my library has available, in the event I
come across a scannoe I can't figure out from context.
Thanks for sending this up! It's one of my favorite books. A real
classic.

I checked all over the book and couldn't find any ISBN anywhere. It's a
book club edition. Do they not include ISBNs for some reason? I don't
understand it.
Sorry I couldn't help! Carrie

Carrie, do you have an ISBN for A Fire Upon the Deep? I can't
seem to find one in the book, and I want to try to get the same
edition for checking if I can.
Thanks much.
