Once you find it, I'm sure you'll be able to find directions for how to subscribe. I'm certain it's very similar to whatever you did to subscribe to this list. I don't remember exactly how to do it, or I'd just give you instructions. Perhaps someone else on the list remembers. Good luck!

You might have more fun with this if you were to join the bookshare-discuss list. It's more about books in general and not designed to be specifically for volunteering-related subjects.

You've just provided me with more ammunition to inveigle people to join Bookshare. I solemnly swear to see what I can do here. I say this because I know some folks who play virtual games of chess. Check out for-the-people.com and see what I mean. There are people there who play chess, golf, poker, etc. Think of what could happen should some of those people join! Will we be inundated with books on various card games and golf? What's a poor non-sports/games player to do? Any plans to do something regarding where one can find role-playing games and how to play them? Regards, Kim aka Ellinder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Homme, James Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 5:46 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: when you check out a book for proofreading Hi Jamie, Maybe they will be encouraged when they see that the book got into the collection and do more chess books.

The submitter sounded like he or she (I can't remember who it was and did not recognize the name) really did a lot of work on the book. That's the only reason I decided to give it a try and see if it needed any final touches. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: As Seen on TV by Sarah Mlynowski See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail and any attachments to it are confidential and are intended solely for use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
