I don't know how you came up with 60. The first thing that comes to my mind is that perhaps you did not place the phrase in quotation marks, but if that was it I would think that a lot more than 60 would come up. I am about to go bedward myself, so I will let you search for the rest of them. If you search Amazon itself you might get a similar number of returns, but to find out if the books exist I would do Open Library first. I am not sure that you can search all of the metadata fields at Amazon like you can at Open library. When you find titles at Open Library you can then look for them at Amazon. Bear in mind that even then you will not necessarily find them at Amazon. Open Library tries to list any book in the world in all of history. It might be unlikely, for example to find books published in only one edition in Sumatra in the nineteenth century on Amazon, but I suppose that it would be unlikely that you could read it even if you did find it. Anyway, wherever you look you just might have to look around for descriptions of some of these. Then you request that Bookshare produce an accessible copy as soon as possible. Now that I think of it, though, if the title is too obscure it might be difficult for even Bookshare to get it.

Hey, Thanks for all the info. I'll take a look at this tomorrow when I'm not about to fall out because I'm tired. However if you find anything else of interest please do let me know. I'd like to get started on this paper as soon as possible but I can also check on Amazon and see if there's anything that open library doesn't list. When I did the search I found 60. What's the deal?

I just looked at the entry on Open Library for the second title on that list of 51 and, indeed, it was obscure enough that there was no listing for it on either Good Reads or Library Thing, but there was an ISBN. I did a search for the ISBN on Amazon and got this entry with a description. By the way, not all books have an ISBN. They only got started in 1968 and were not widely adopted until the mid 1970's, so if a book is too old it will not have an ISBN. You still might find it at Amazon by doing a title search though. Here is the link to the Amazon listing of that specific book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Celtic-Harp-Siobhan-Bhreathnach/dp/0946005435/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340502903&sr=8-1&keywords=9780946005437 To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
