Candice,

Here is a message that was in one of the first
newsletters: If you’re a student or teacher requesting
a book specifically needed for school, go to the front
of the line with mail to:
schoolbookrequest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bookshare may not be able to get them done quickly
enough for you, but maybe they can get the books from
the publishers. It's nice of you to scan them and then
submit them, and you'd probably better start, but
maybe you won't have to finish. smile
