Congratulations Melissa!

I'll need a PD book summary for the catalog page before I can catalog.

Thanks.

I'm suddenly blank about what you're asking for! My apologies

Hey Mel,

She is looking for a small summary of the book, preferably in your own words ..not something like a Wiki quote which is questionable PD (public domain).

When you filled out the template for the new project template generator there was a place to fill in this book summary, but looks like you left it blank. In the MW right after the title of the book, you will see a grey box with a quotation mark that is currently blank... that;s where it should show up.

I believe you can go back in and edit the template to add the book summary in.

Yes, I'm looking for what Nemo said.

And you can just post your summary in the thread. I need to do a copy and paste so it doesn't matter if it is here or in the first post.

Thanks.
MaryAnn

"A highly descriptive and engaging narrative from one of America's beloved nature writers, this short piece shows well Thoreau's great love of the early American wilderness. Be transported to the deep woods of Maine and share in both Thoreau's delight in nature and also his admiration of those others who have a deeper connection with the natural world around them."

Too short MaryAnn?

It's perfect Melissa. I'll get the cataloging started.

Thanks so much to the both of you for taking a newbie by the hand and walking her through that daunting "first solo project". It's never a solo with a team like you two!!!

Thank you!
Melissa
