That's great, Eliza. Thanks both to you and Mr. Frey.
And, as people have said recently, bookshare does
promote book sales. Because of books I've validated
for bookshare, I've bought 2 copies of Soy of
Cooking, 3 of What Einstein told His Cook, and, just
the other day, a copy of the Dog Listener and one of
Cloud Atlas. These are books I never would have known
about or bought if it weren't for bookshare.
