I've heard that some library's are checking out books like that but my local one hasn't done it yet. I think the author or publisher has to agree before it can be shared. I just figured newer or popular books wouldn't get permission to be shared. I might have to pay more attention.Jeff Lawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036550554413060199.post-9545898125841469952012-05-22T21:08:39.779+07:002012-05-22T21:08:39.779+07:00So have you finished it?
