Subject: [gutvol-d] need a book scanned?
To: gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org, Bowerbird@aol.com

this has been available for a few months now,
but hasn't gotten the attention that it deserves...

in conjunction with the boston public library,
the open library -- or is it the internet archive?,
or is it the open content alliance?, i can never tell
-- is now offering a "scan on demand" service...

if a public-domain book in the boston pubic library
hasn't yet been scanned, you can bump its priority
up to the top of the list by requesting it be scanned.

within "3-5 days", it'll be scanned and placed online,
with all the various formats, which includes the o.c.r.

what a wonderful present, eh?

"check it out" (so to speak):
