Bob, I will rescan this book. It is in my library system. Don't hold your
breath as a couple of other books precede it but it sounds like something that
would interest me. And I sense that you must feel as I do when you come across
a Bookshare book that is badly in need of TLC. Jill

I would like to have a readable copy of "Little Big" by John Crowley added
to the collection. There is a copy in the collection but is rated fair and has
missing pages, scanning errors, and is pretty much illegible.
Here is the book's synopsis.
Little, Big tells the epic story of Smoky Barnable -- an anonymous young
man who meets and falls in love with Daily Alice Drinkwater, and goes to live
with her in Edgewood, a place not found on any map. In an impossible mansion
full of her relatives, who all seem to have ties to another world not far away,
Smoky fathers a family and tries to learn what tale he has found himself in --
and how it is to end.
It's a fairy book, but not a children's book. It's a haunting book, but no
ghosts appear. In other words, it's a great book and should be available for
our customers to read.
Bob

committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is
the only thing that ever has."--Margaret Mead
