Carrie,, I am very curious to know the name of the pianist who donated the books. I am interested in classical music, but there would need to be more than just one reader. Thanks, Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Karnos To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 7:50 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: planning to scan for all us music fans out there, especially Rush fans Speaking of music, a classical pianist gave us a load of books several years ago, and in his collection are maybe 20-30 books on classical music and composers. Does anyone want me to process them and submit them to the download list? I didn't think there were many members who were classical music fans so I haven't touched them yet. The bars of music will certainly be unreadable, but the text should be okay. What do you think?

I'm majoring in music so it looks like an interesting read. MissWings At 01:18 PM 8/18/2007, Shane Christenson wrote: >Hi, fellow booksharians.
