Hi Janina and all,

I did ask BookShare about O'Riely titles. Here is the text of the reply
I received:

I'm not sure. I had the same experience, which is why I suggested their
O'Reily titles may not yet be in the catalog.

I do know that they have access to all the O'Reily Safari titles. And,
they have them in pristine XML, so they'll be very high quality copies
at BookShare.

I would suggest writing them to find out how to get at them. If you do,
please let us all know what they say.
