Hi there, The process for NLS verification is spotty at best during the summer. Mine took 3 weeks to come through when the site advertises 2 weeks max. Also it took 3 emails and a return recipt request before I finally got my inquiring meails as to the slowness returned... Very happy with my membership now! :-) Jake ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.M." <inlovewithchrist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 8:09 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Downloading Bookshare Books. > Hi, Kolby.
