I see that the NY Times best seller list hasn't been updated since December 2005. Has that feature been discontinued? -----Original Message----- From: Rik James [mailto:d28rik@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 9:47 AM To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Just submitted - The Reader I have re-submitted The Reader and it is on the step 1 list again. I did not put BSO in front of title. I was thinking that that was when there was already a book in the Bookshare collection. Is this correct. This .RTF file was the one that was submitted in January. It was rejected citing no copyright information. In my resubmission I put both the author and translator in the author part of the form. And I used the copyright date which is for the translated version. Below is the pasted text from the title page. I did send an email to Gustavo about it as well. I haven't heard back. I imagine he is well occupied with many other matters. So if anyone wants to take it on, well, here it is. I sure liked the book and felt that it was the most interesting and compelling story I have ever read dealing with illiteracy, and indeed with the time just after World War II. I learned of the book because it was on the bounty wish list. Thanks.

Hi Rick, You did right to put the translator's name with the author's. The best format for that is author's name, a comma, translator's name and the word translator in parenthesis. If you forgot to fill out the copyright info on the form, that may have caused the problem. I would maybe resubmit and make sure the copyright name and date get in the form correctly. There has been some trouble with multiple people scanning books from the wish list. It's up to you whether you want to submit your version again--someone should compare the two and accept whichever one is superior.
