Yes, look on the page for outsourced books. I suppose those are publishers that Bookshare approached and they declined to cooperate. However, as I said, they are still large companies with very wide distribution of their books and so it is not unlikely that you might still find yourself upstaged by an outsourcer. I think your better bet is the small, obscure or vanity publishers.

Hi Roger. Is the list of publishers not sending to bookshare available on the site? -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Loran BaileySent: Monday, July 26, 2010 8:44 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Volunteer scanned books VS publisher quality submits If you go to Amazon advanced book search and type either Booksurge orVantage in the field for publisher and leave the other fields blank, exceptmaybe the category combo box, you will get a list of books that are veryunlikely to ever have publisher quality copies in the Bookshare collection.There are some other such publishers too, but they do not immediately come to mind. The list of publishers that Bookshare provides that will not be submitting publisher quality books can be checked too, but they are largecompanies with very wide distribution of their books, so it is still likelythat an outsourcer will process them. _ _ _ "Socialism can be built only by free men and women working together to lay the foundations for a new society and transforming themselves in the process." - Ernesto "Che" Guevara The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lori Castner" <loralee.castner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 26, 2010 7:00 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Volunteer scanned books VS publisher quality submits Volunteer scanned books VS publisher quality submitsLarry, I had the sameexperience several weeks ago concerning a book I had proofread. The PQ bookmade it into the collection the same night I submitted my proofread book. My only suggestion is to check the publisher. In the case of my book, the publisher was a subsidiary of Random House one of the publishers that submits PQ books to Bookshare. You have my sympathy, but I don't know a solution except to avoide certain publishers and avoid their subsidiaries.

If I've missed something, someone tell me. Scott, I just had the experience of one of my scan submissions being rejected because a publisher quality book beat it into the collection. If I have missed it somewhere, I appologize, but is there any way of knowing whatbooks are going to be Pq submitted. I enjoy scanning books for the site but feel I am lacking my marching orders. What should I be scanning, or shouldI avoid scanning. To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
