Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh! That is just too terrifying to a book NUT like myself! I know that we are heading into the Halloween time of year and all, but that is just TOO FRIGHTENING to contemplate! Sort of a book slaughterhouse! :-o Having been properly chastised, however, I have done what I SHOULD have done first thing and gone to the FAQ and read it exhaustively. (Okay, I lie, I didn't read the scanning parts AT ALL.) A LOT of the questions I had have been answered by an hour or so of reading. (Admittedly, however, I'm still a bit confused, but then I'm ALWAYS a bit confused!) I thank you all for your patience with me. I'm going do dive into a book now. Wish me luck! Cathy

I know. It is a little hard to stomach. Destroying books, especially old books, seems like a crime worthy of death. However, when you consider that they are sacrificing their little book life so that they might be reborn into a better state of existence, in which they will have far greater worth and reach many more readers than they ever could have in their ink and paper state, it's not so bad. :) Of course, typing or nondestructively scanning the book is arguably better because then no one has to die.

Yes, we have certain heartless brutes which we keep around for just such jobs. :)

Best of luck, and really, don't hesitate to come back to ask for help. Also, don't do too much work before you get that copyright clearance. You don't want to be told that it was all for not.

I wouldn't stress out too much about this rule. Just because you have a copyright clearance doesn't mean that no one got a clearance at the same time; until David processes the clearances for his webpage, you won't get a message if you overlap, and that might take up to a week.
