Hi, Hope. Sometimes, I think you may not get an answer not because someone doesn't want to answer you but because most of us probably don't know, and the ones who might know don't monitor this list all the time and might not have seen your message. The best thing to do if you want to ask about a specific book is to first check the various lists out there. If you don't find your answer there, email Gustavo and explain to him that you've done all the checking you could on your own but can't find the books you're asking about and ask him. I hope your surgery went well. Things have been crazy around here and I've gotten really behind on mail, so I'm trying to get through everything but did want to respond to this and let you know that I seriously doubt you've offended anyone. I just think people think if they don't know the answer, it's better just to not say anything at all rather than having dozens of messages with everyone saying they don't know. Take care.

I appreciate all of you. I have been grouchy lately because I am having surgery on 8/16. I did not receive a response from you concerning the books I asked about. Did that message disappear? I apologize if I have done anything to offend any one. You all are great and although I have only been a member for a short time I am extremely grateful for BookShare.
