Hi Carrie,What were the titles of the books you couldn't scan? I'm just curious. It's frustrating that they're hand-written. I can't imagine why publishers would wanna do that. Anyway, it's perfectly understandable that you didn't want to type up those books.

Hey, I validated An Inconvenient Truth (despite other people at the office telling me not to do it, since there were so many pictures, charts, graphs, fold-out pages, etc.) I expect An Inconvenient Book will be the same. It'll take me a while, but I'll get it done.Just occurred to me (I'm slow at times), I should take a look at An Inconvenient Book at a bookstore before ordering it. If it's THAT bad, I'll skip it. In the past 2 months, I've skipped 2 bestsellers since the text was all handwritten. Validating them would have meant retyping the whole book, which is just too much for me.Carrie ----- Original Message ---- From: Gary Petraccaro <garyp130@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 1, 2007 12:06:34 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Bestseller Alert Watch your blood pressure and it won't be from the politics. <grin> I'd want a subscription for this book all by itself.----- Original Message ----- From: "Carrie Karnos" <ckarnos@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 10:11 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Bestseller AlertIt's a New York Times bestseller, so I'll be tackling it this month.

I suggest thatonlya sighted person even think about tackling this one. It's heavily graphical in nature, having cartoons, and uses colored print and windowing. Funny book, but hell to scan and fix. Just my $.02. To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
