Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what you got when you get the time to
list them.

Dear Carrie and Clare,
! You could have rolled your eyes and said, "We're up to our eyebrows in
books to scan. We can't take another book right now, but you didn't! Thanks
to both of you
A Bookstore across the street? How can you stand it???
I'm a fan of several genres of books including sf and noticed right away
how much that group needed BSOing. There are lots of accurate files in that
group to read while the BSOs trickle in. Night Train to Rigel, by Timothy
Zahn, which Kelley validated was a fun read. I hope you'll tell the staff at
the Bookstore across the street that the Booksharians from coast to coast
are agog over their donation!
All of that science fiction coming at us. Where's Hermione's time turner
when I need it? I want to jump up and down yelling "I'll do them! I'll do
them!," but I have a clutch of 5 treasures to validate. I have faith in the
volunteers as a whole so this is me jumping up and down yelling, "We'll do
them! We'll do them!"
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi all,
Last week, the used bookstore across the street called us and said that
they had loads of sci-fi books in their free box. The books are old and
smelly and no one will buy them. Would we like them? You bet! Claire and
I zipped over and grabbed a slew of books, and brought them back to the
office. There are 20 BSO sci-fi books and 47 new sci-fi books for the
collection. I have 38 BSO sci-fi books from my father's collection, so at
this point we now have 58 BSO sci-fi books, 47 new sci-fi books, and 38
classical music books that we're trying to process. Whew! Of course now
the scanner has been making strange noises, so it needs to go in for
maintenance. I'm hoping we can have it in and out of a local shop within a
few days. We'll see how that goes.
I want to submit the BSO sci-fi books before the new sci-fi books,
hoping that the validators will work on them. I'm afraid if I submit the
new ones first, the BSO ones will be ignored. The sci-fi collection is in
pretty bad shape, mainly because the first library of books to start the
collection was mostly sci-fi. Way back when, people were anxious to start
the collection, so they scanned the books and plopped them into the
collection without any validation. I think about half of the fair books are
sci-fi now. I'm trying to upgrade the sci-fi so we have excellent scans of
most books. I managed to sneak a few BSO sci-fi books through the scanner
this morning before the noise got really loud. I'll try to submit them later
this week. Please validate them. After the rest of the BSO ones are
submitted, we'll start on the new ones. Of course the classical music ones
will be sprinkled in there too.
And that's the status from the office, Carrie
