    Adding books

    What exactly does it take to add a book? Do you have to type it up? Or do you find it/buy it from an ebook site? Do you have to write chapter summeries, biographical info, ect...? Where does all this come from? Because if it means a ton of work for you, Admin, I'm sure that other people (myself included) would be willing to help out with some of the work if it means expanding the authors database.
    ...Also baby duck hat would be good for parties.

    the authors are the hard things, as the biographies need to be written.

    The books are just a whole lot of data entry. I don't type the whole thing though.

    Scanning is pretty common, I guess. But It is the formatting which is the real problem.
