Dear Julia,

A Christmas Guest and A Christmas Secret are both in the Bookshare collection 
as separate novels. It's OK to add the book you scanned which contains both 
short novels together, but knowing they're already available may take some of 
the pressure off. Jamie Yates scanned them and she does great work so the 
copies we have should be pleasant reads.

There are other examples in Bookshare of books that are available separately 
and as part of collections. They give readers the choice of downloading 
individual novels or bigger files with two or more novels at once. I know this 
is the case with some fantasy series like The Dark is Rising series or the 
Prydain Chronicles or both. Each of those contain 5 volumes! 

Back to Anne Perry. Shelley Rhodes, Cindy Rosenthal and I worked on A Christmas 
Visitor, yet another of Perry's Christmas novellas and I'm embarrassed to say I 
noticed that there's an R missing from the author's name in the copyright 
information. Did I do that? Goes to show how our boo booz can come back to 
haunt us, as in A Ghost of Christmas Past.

Always with love,

Lissi

  Hi Lori. I must confess I feel quite guilty reading how all of you are 
slaving away to get books in the collection, and here I am shirking my 
responsibilities. I started reading it and discovered that only the second half 
of the book is messed up and so I've decided to fix it myself. I really want it 
in by Christmas. thanks for the offer though. 
  Julia

    Julia, If you wish, I will validate this book, but I cannot promise that it 
will be in the collection by Christmas.  If you want it in the collection by 
Christmas I cannot do it.  I have two books ahead and other projects right now, 
and Christmas itself.

    Let me know.

    Cat Lover Lori

      Ok, here's what's up. I just got done scanning a four hundred page novel, 
it's actually two novels in one, A Christmas Guest and A Christmas Secret by 
Anne Perry. But, unfortunately there's rather a big catch. I just now 
discovered that all of the letter y's are actually ts. Is anyone willing to 
take this Herculean task on? I'd do it only I have three pages of dialogue to 
Modernize for school, and am leaving for Portland in a week. I even optimized 
this baby and it still messed up.
