Tracy, There's a man named John imarino who maintains daily lists of books added to bookshare. The URL where these lists can be found is: http://myplace.frontier.com/~bshare/ He has lists dating back to January of this year available on the site; he sent lists to this list for several months prior to that; if you're interested in anything dating further back, I probably have it in my archives. What I'm doing is pasting his lists in to a word document so I'll constantly have access to them. After a few months, the older lists fade off the site, and I don't want to loose any of the data. I hope this is helpful. Courtney On 7/7/10, Scott Rains <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Tracy, > > There are hundreds of new books coming in daily.
