Gerald, you're absolutely right. Yesterday Gustavo mentioned that we have 29,501 books in the collection.

Based on past performance, We should hit 30,000 somewhere around the first week of November, give or take a week. Say 4 to 6 weeks from today. BTW, querying the collection this morning using Advanced Search shows the following totals: English books – 28,622 Spanish books – 1045 That’s a total of 29667. If I remember correctly, there’s 167 remotely available books in the collection which Gustavo doesn’t include in his count, so that makes his count an even 29,500 at the moment. Last year we averaged 100 books per week, so around 5 weeks should do it.
