The only other thing i can ask, is Bud were you logged in when you did your searches. As if the book was adult or other things it wouldn't show up.

Well, Bud,

Luckily I have never had this problem, but it seems that it shouldn't be so difficult to know if a book is already on bookshare. I always check the list by doing a search by author and by title and then check by the books in processing list searching for both title and author. Finally, I check Cindy's books being scanned list. If I can't find a book on any of these, I let Cindy know I am scanning a book so she can add it to her list. Still, it seems that there should some day be a one-step process to know if it is safe to scan a book. As we all know, scanning a book and getting it ready to submit is a long process.

Don't know what else to say!

Hi Gang,

I guess I learned something. I sent a book in which wasn't on the list but it bounced back saying it was already on the list. I checked the list again and it still wasn't there, so I checked the advanced listing and sure enough, there it was. My question is, is there some place where we can just check one list to see if the book is already on the list? Does the advanced have all the listings including the normal ones we get when we check in the normal way? It's discouraging to spend hours of time getting a long book ready like that one was only to find that I should've checked into it further before going ahead. I guess after four years or so I am still learning.
