Hi, Cindy, if you go to gutenberg.org, there are a lot of books by G. A.
Henty there. I think you may be right that folks (mostly male, probably),
will like him. I've found tons of stuff that are in the public domain at
gutenberg.org. That being said, however, I love those synopses on Bookshare.
At least you have a small annotation of some sort and I do appreciate that.
Regards, Kim.

If you can find any of these G.A. Henty books that are cheap and someone is
willing to scan them, I think they'd be good additions to the collection.
It's more likely that they'd be found at a garage sale rf flea market or
used-book shops.

Dear Booksharian Friends,
In a couple of weeks Akron will have an antiquarian book fair with over 60
dealers. Often these books, many of which are rare collector's items, are
too expensive for our Volunteer budgets, but you never know what perfectly
priced treasure is there.
I haven't saved all of the exchanges about series or authors some of you are
trying to cover. If you are looking for any books, write to me off list with
the book name and author and the highest price you'll pay. If I find what
you're looking for I'll buy it and the postage to send it to you will be my
contribution.
I could also call you on my cell before buying anything for you, and, you
can pay me after you get the book.
I'm not sure what I'll be looking for; probably something Irish, Scottish,
Welsh or poetry. The fun is in the search.
Always with love,
Lissi
