Mary, I scan with Kurzweil and I don't concern myself with fonts. If it is reading correctly, I assume the scan is okay. Am I missing something important here? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mayrie ReNae" <mayrierenae@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Christina, Thought I'd warn you. "The Art of Detection" by Laurie R. King is a book I started to work on and kind of bailed on. It is written in two separate fonts. So, just when you think you've got your scanner settings set right, the font will change, and you'll need to readjust. It isn't unmanageable, if you scan and read a few pages at a time as you scan. You'll end up, probably, with two sets of scanning settings that will work and have to switch between them. I just wasn't patient enough to do thework. Just thought I'd tell you what you can expect with that one, so thatyou can be prepared for the kind of work it will take. I really like that series of books, so will be thrilled and pay homage to your patience once that one is in the collection! Thanks for taking on a bear of a book! You're awesome!

I have some very good friends who are letting me borrow some of their books to scan and add to Bookshare. I plan to scan the following: Guardians of the West by David Eddings Player of Games by Iain Banks The Tides of Time by John Brunner Passage by Lois McMaster Bujold The Art of Detection by Laurie R. King The Jack Vance Treasury by Jack Vance Night's Daughter by Tanith Lee A Dirty Job by Christopher Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn. It's obviously going to take me a while to get through all of these so if any of you want to validate any of these or want to read any of them right away, please let me know and I'll do those first.
