Hi Lissi,
Before I go to the sale, I make up a list of books in the Bookshare
collection of authors like Cussler, Evanovich, etc. If I find a book at the
sale, I can check to see if we already have it. Of course, I'll find a book by
an author who's not on my list, so I get the book anyway (it's $5 for a full
bag of books). If I find that we already have the book, I just return to the
library next month. I forgot to login before I wrote down all the Cussler
books so I didn't write down his adult content books, like Fire Ice. Thanks
for letting me know about it! Since the current copy is good, I'll go ahead
and process Fire Ice anyway.

Dear Carrie, Gerald, Katie, and Everyone,
Carrie, what a great catch! When you buy books like that do you have a laptop
to check if they are in the collection? When I find a very cheap source of
print books, I just search for books that, from my general knowledge, I guess
might not be done yet. When I bring them home, I look them up and donate
whatever is already approved. Then if I find a volunteer to scan any of what's
left, I check again to make sure the book hasn't been added before mailing it
off.
Oh, and I don't just grab anything obscure. I do what I can to judge if it
will be potentially a good read. It's just another form of treasure hunting and
book play I'll enjoy as long as possible.
Grizzard was a great and funny son of Mississippi!
Katie, you are right. It's just that I do my homework and vote, but am not a
leader or organizer. I appreciate the conviction of all of you who help
Bookshare evolve for the better. With my personality, the best I can do is
validate renew my membership, spread the word to attract new subscribers and
read.
I'm not a cook, just a kitchen wench! ahahahahahah...been reading too much
historical fiction!
I'd have spent the whole day with the roses. How beautiful!
Always with love,
Lissi

st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } The Grizzard books
always have the most unusual titles. I think my favorite of his titles is
Shoot Low Sherriff They?re Riding Shetlands, but I also like the title They

Hi all,
I stopped by the Palo Alto Library sale today and grabbed 16 Spanish books,
but while I was there, I couldn't resist getting some more books. I tried to
stick to classic authors but failed several times. Here are the 19 English
books I got. If anyone has already started processing any of these, please
tell me and I'll drop them.
