These books are indeed long and are worth reading. They lend themselves to being scann by someone with an ADF. If I had one I'd offer to help out. If you don't get any takers here, you could always buy the books and send them to Carrie at the Bookshare office. She has a very fast scanner with a nice ADF for handling longer books. In fact, you can have Amazon ship them right to the office without you worrying about boxing up books.

For a very ambitious volunteer looking for a new project . . .

We have two books by Dorothy Dunnett on Bookshare. She wrote sweeping,
well-researched historical fiction, as well as some mysteries. Her
'Lymond Chronicles' have been recommended to me for years. They're set
in Europe in the fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries, and recount power
struggles, intrigues, and the like. I understand Dunnett took some
inspiration from another Dorothy, Sayers and her Lord Peter Wimsey, so
fans of Sayers generally enjoy Lymond. Bookshare doesn't have any of
the series, so I'm throwing the titles out there for a volunteer with
a taste for historical fiction and a lot of time (I'm told these are
very! long books).

1 Game of Kings
2 Queens' Play
3 The Disorderly Knights
4 Pawn in Frankincense
5 The Ringed Castle
6 Checkmate
