I could use some sighted assistance if someone wants to validate the following. For some of these I have indicated what I need for the books. For others I just need a sighted person to validate. * Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman. I think there are a few hand-written letters I could use help with. * the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. I have optimized my scan but I am still getting funny-looking words so a sighted assistant in validating would be great. this won the Pulitzer prize this year for fiction. * Crocodile on the Sand bank by Elizabeth Peters. I need a few pages from this book. It is the first in the Amelia Peabody series. If you can help with these, please respond either onlist or privately at amber.wallens@xxxxxxxxx Thanks!
