Could you try using the Dale Carnegie book?
Thanks. I tried the Carnagie book, and same thing.

Well now I can't try it because someone has it checked out, likely because of my inquiries. But nothing's changed so I don't expect a difference. The layout for Five Years and Carnagie looks the same, an image of the cover of the book with various beige controls around the periphery.

OK this helps. I'm starting to understand the mechanism better now. My firewall is very tight, but I'm not getting any violations. How long can someone keep a book checked out? I have some books I'd like to digitize, but can't decide between OpenLibrary and WikiSource. I'm a bit concerned about WikiSource as who knows how long their business model will hold up? Can someone compare the advantages and disadvantages of WikiSource and OpenLibrary?
