Here goes: Books I plan to scan: The Superior Person's Book of Words by Peter Bowler Wicked Words: A Treasury of Curses, Insults, Put-Downs, and other Formerly Unprintable Terms From Anglo-Saxon Times to the Present by Hugh Rawson Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words by Josefa Heifetz Byrne Amo, Amas, Amat and More by Eugene Ehrlich Caesar: Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy The Mansion by William Faulkner The Stars, My Destination by Alfred Bester The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester The Computer Connection by Alfred Bester [this one only if requested] All of these by the last had been requested by someone or interest had been show in them. They are not necessarily in order of scanning but if someone is in a hurry for a book please let me know. Obviously, it will take me a while to do all of these but I will work as rapidly as care will permit.

Amy, just post a list of titles you plan to scan and those of us on the list who are paying attention will either tell you if we're scanning one already or will make sure that we don't duplicate your effort. This seems to work for the most part. Every once in a while we end up with duplicated scans, but not very often.

I have a stack of books in my "to be scanned" department none of which are in the collection and all of which have been previously listed in this volunteer discussion freelist. Since we don't have a wish list anymore how do I ensure that they are not already in process of being scanned by someone else? The in process list does not include books that have not been submitted yet. As I don't like submitted badly scanned books I "validate" the books as I go along so that the copy I submit I usually classify as "excellent". Is there a way to ensure that someone else is not also working on the same books? Amy
