I just followed Larry's instructions, but I violated them a bit to see
what I could get in one of my areas of special interest. First, when it
came to language I specified English. Perhaps they are all in English
anyway, but this made sure. Then I went down the list of categories and
checked science fiction and fantasy and then pressed enter over the
advanced search button. What a surprise! I got a list of 1,133 human
narrated books in just that category. That is really a lot for something
that just got started!

opinion when it comes to recording quality. It sounds like they are
books from the Australia talking book library. However, it did work
just fine and I did get my book Cage of Ice.

OK folks, this is how I ended up with a list of over 10,000 human
narrated books from which to choose.
1. First, go to the Advanced Search form.
2. Find the first combo box, which should read "Search Current Site,"
make sure that is the option selected in that combo box.
3. Find the "books to search" combo box.
4. Arrow down until you hear "human narrated books.
5. Find the first advanced search button.
6. Press that button.
7. wait until you hear the up coming results page.
8. At that point, you should hear that your search has yielded around 25
of 10,945 titles in human narrated form.
9. And this probably should have been stated near the beginning of this
set of instructions: Resist the temptation to fill out any of the edit
boxes at the beginning of the form, or ,check any of the choices below
the first advanced search button you encounter..
After making this list, and checking it more than twice, I have tried
this method a number of times, just to make sure that the results come
out the same, and up to this point, they do. So, after following these
instructions, you don't get the expected results, please write to
Bookshare tech support <smile>.
Have fun,
Larry
