Bob, Glad to see your humor is back on the list.

I'll split it with you, if you'd like.You start at the front of the list, and I'll work forward from the end. Thatway if some other sucker (I mean volunteer) comes in they can do 33 to 66 and we should get it done pretty quickly.

Bookshare would like to be sure that all our members have the chance to find all 100 of them in our collection. To do that we need someone to check the catalog for each title. Any takers? Ideally the list would give the URL for each book that we already have.
