differentiate "promotional content" from facts about the site. We do have a lot of content from Thomson Gale. Would removing the word "respected" from that sentence accomplish that? I understand you don't want duplicate text, so we can re-word that information to differentiate it from the About BookRags page. I also removed the screenshot of the homepage. If you visit our homepage, www.bookrags.com, you'll see that this is no longer accurate. I added in more facts about how much free content we have (157 titles) and cited it.

I tried to upload a current version of a screenshot of BookRags but have been unable to do so. I have restored the screenshot for now, as the image might be deleted if it is unused. Once I can find an updated screenshot of the homepage, I'll upload it.

Can you update the homepage screenshot? I'm not sure how to do that. If you have any questions or concerns about the changes I've made, please let me know how I can verify their accuracy. Thanks.
