Cindy, your feedback definitely helps. I just didn't want to short circuit any
established processes by cutting ahead in line, so to speak, and saying, "Hey,
could someone on here scan my book" if there's an established procedure to get
it properly set up.
As an aside I know that Larry King has a more recent and updated autobiography
which is available and accessible from several sources. However, this book does
contain some material not printed in the more recent edition. I've ordered the
book and should be receiving it in a few days and am more than willing to send
it to the individual who chooses to scan it.
Many thanks.

a Book Scanned By a Volunteer
David You'll soon b e contacted by others, probably, but you've come to the
right place; volunteers check this site regularly and someone who can
scan will probably contact you; you may have to send that person the book,
unless there's a copy available in a library somewhere; hth (n case iu'e n
ot familiar with our shorthand, hat means ope this h;elps after kt' scanned
kt will have to be proofread and youmayhave to send it to a proofer,e.g. me

Hi. I will soon have a very hard to find print book which is not available in
other accessible formats with the exception of being available on a phonograph
record with an RD prefix via NLS. It's a book I'd love to be able to read and
I'd like to know the process of doing this as I want to go about this using
established procedures. It is not a textbook that I need quickly for an
upcoming course and so while it may be of value to me I don't consider this to
be a high-priority request. Should I go through the standard book request form
on Bookshare's site and wait to be contacted or is there another way to solicit
volunteer assistance?
For reference the title of the book is "Larry King" and is Larry's first
autobiography published around 1982.
Many thanks for any advice you can offer.
