Hi, Powell's books has an 800 number, so when I used them, I'd talk to a
nice person on the phone and asked for a particular author. I'd make a
charge on the debit card and they'd send the stuff to Bookshare. This
bookstore is not a chain and is located in Oregon. I'd say their prices
vary depending on how rare the book is but they make sure their books
are in good condition. Regards, Kim Friedman.

I didn't know about Thriftbooks.com--thanks, Roger and Kim. smile. I've
never had much luck finding what I'm looking for with powells--have you
had good experiences finding cheap books through them, Kim?

Hi, Judy, thanks for giving out names for more online book places.
Powells.com is another place to go. Also, Roger Bailey was right on the
money to recommend thriftbooks.com. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Partial series bug me too, Kim. I ask other volunteers if they can get
the missing books from their libraries and scan them, since I can't
scan, and I do the proofreading since that is something I can do. If no
one can help out on a particular set of books, I haunt
http://www.abebooks.com and http://www.alibris.com and
http://www.biblio.com and http://www.half.com and http://www.amazon.com
and ebay until used copies come up dirt cheap, and then I snap those up
and send them in to bookshare to get scanned. It often takes many
months for them to get scanned when you send them directly to Bookshare,
but I know they'll get in the collection eventually that way. I also
put books on the wishlist, but if they haven't been taken in 3 months
then they usually aren't going to get done that way.

Hi, I don't know about you, but it bugs me to see books in a partially
completed series. I think it's due to my being inclined toward the
resolution of anything. I'm a musician and if I hear a G7 chord, I
naturally think there should be a C chord to finish it off (I prefer
consonance over dissonance any day). I mention this because I was
looking at the Bookshare collection at books by one Beverly Swerling's
historical fiction series about New York City and books 2-4 are in the
collection. Does anyone know if City of Dreams (book one of the series)
will be added or not? Regards, Kim Friedman.
