Cindy they are not talking about a specific author O'Reilly but about the
publisher and they are talking about non-members borrowing the
books. Anyone apparently cannot borrow them without registering with
bookshare first. Please be careful with posts as some on this list are
confused and may become more so if they think you are referring to an
author (smile). We are talking about non-US citizens who as of now cannot
become bookshare members.

I don't know, specificlly, what book and author you've been asking about.
If it's the Rev. A.J. O'Reilly, and the book is Alvira, anybody can download it, member or not, since it's in the public domain. And I assume this is true of all other public domain books on bookshare.
Just for fun, I put the title into google rather than going directly through bookshare. Actually, since I'm not a member, I could have done it that way. I opened the bookshare site that had the book and downloaded the book. It's now sitting on my desktop, though, unless you want me to send it to you, smile--I'll trash it, since I don't plan to read it. smile
