Julie and Sarge,
Some of this duplication comes from scanned books but most comes from
publishers. Example, hard-cover followed by paperback. Or one publisher buying
another or starting another imprint and reissuing the book. I think duplicates
aren't a great idea but it's also possible that what appears to be a duplicate
may not be a perfect copy. I just live with the problem. Some of the books I've
contributed were later submitted by publishers. I had described images which
were omitted by publishers. So it's tough to just delete duplicates.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Duplicate titles and a downloading error
I've been out of the loop regarding Bookshare for a long time now and just
recently was able to finally renew my membership, so I haven't been keeping up
with the goings-on for at least four or five years now.
Anyway, so I'm noticing a lot of duplicate titles under some of the authors
I've been browsing lately and was wondering where the proper place would be to
report those. Just off the top of my head as I'm browsing this afternoon, I'm
noticing quite a few under Leslie Meier, some under Joanne Fluke and a fair
amount under Diane Mott Davidson. I know we've been doing publisher-quality
books for quite a while now, so I'm assuming some of these were scanned, then
maybe the publisher-quality versions were added and the others were never
removed, but not sure who to report them to, assuming we're still trying to get
rid of duplicates as we've done for years.
The question I have regarding downloading is an error I occasionally get and
I'd like to know what it means. The error I get says:]
ERROR
The request could not be satisfied.

CloudFront attempted to establish a connection with the origin, but either the
attempt failed or the origin closed the connection.

Is the book no longer available when I get this error or is there another
reason? And if the books are no longer available, shouldn't they not show up in
search results in the first place? Just curious what all that means, as I never
saw that error when downloading before...ages ago. :)
Thanks, and glad to be back in the land of Bookshare again. :)
