I suppose you can't expect your tastes to match the tastes of other volunteers. I submitted People versus Profits by Victor Perlo back on December 30. Since that time one person checked it out and then released it only a few minutes later. No one else has touched it. It makes me wish that I had spent all the time I spent on that book with another book.

The last three books I've scanned and submitted have had an interesting history. The first, a non-fiction work by John McPhee, submitted in late March, was picked up by two checkers, each of whom eventually released it. The second, a fiction work by B. Traven, submitted in mid-April, was also picked up and subseqently released by two checkers. The third, another non-fiction work by John Mcphee, in early May, has not been picked up at all.

Should I take this to mean that perhaps these two authors are of not great interest to the Bookshare community? I'd like to know, since I have one more book by John McPhee which I have scanned, but haven't completely reviewed yet. And I have several more books by B. Traven, but wouldn't want to waster my time with them if they're not going to go live.
