So maybe a poll would be a good idea for deciding what books should be
raffled off?

I'm guessing this is a separate thing from the above raffle? What
qualifies as "Just published" ? Looking at their catalog, it seems that
60 -70 books are coming up from January 2005 to June 2005. I would like
to see this as a good resource for us, without getting abused. Is there
a limit from them? Or some other kind of "just checking to make sure"
kind of thing?
