I think your notice is fine, Tony. I don't know what
the percentage of scanners to validators is, and maybe
not too many people are interested in old-time radio
books, but I know a lot of people are interested in
sci fi and mystery and fantasy novels. You should see
how many are on the Book Share Wish List.
Good luck with your venture. I think it's wonderful of
you.
