superior copies direct from the publishing houses with whom Bookshare has
active relationships." This is, imo, an erroneous assumption on you
rpart; I'm ot a member so haven't read ( especially recently) but as a
proofer I did find that publishers' copies aren't as perfect as volunteers'
because of the format requirements of Bookshare, which Bookshare
voluneers followl publishers just submi ttheir books eithout oyaing
attentin to thngs like font size, spacing of ellipses and dashes,
paragrph braks, et al ; just myoponion; so I say scan whatever you want
and someone like me willproof,it( in my case if iit's not too horrific

Hello again listers,
Here's another in my series of getting reacquainted with Bookshare
questions.
I know generally what I will be scanning. Books will largely be fiction
and from the horror genre. However, I'd like to learn the current approach
of the Bookshare team in regards to partnerships with different publishers.
I'd prefer to scan books into the collection that won't be quickly replaced
by superior copies direct from the publishing houses with whom Bookshare
has active relationships. I am fairly confident I can identify titles which
will not be likely to fall into this category by focusing on indie work.
There are a lot of titles out there. All that said, any guidance would be
happily accepted. I took a quick tour around the volunteer page on the
site, but much of that data appears to be unchanged. I figure this list
will probably yield the most current scoop.
Thanks,
Scott
