Dear Estelnallissa & E & all,
The discussion of omitted everything prior to page one of certain books may
be specific to certain series which are known to have nothing of importance
pror to page one but I would hesitate to give point blank advice to ignore
all pages prior to #1. Many of the books I have been working with have
major sections of importance with roman numerals instead of arabic numbers.
Many of them - what few they are, I agree - would not be read without those
introductory pages or would not make sense. This is true of many if not
most editions of literature and literary classics.
Speaking of Literary classics, I am a student of Hawthorne and would happily
verify or even scan (if I still can) any of his works and many books about
him as soon as I can get my head above water, so to speak, with the works I
am doing now. I don't know how some of you manage to scan and/or validate
so many books when a few have me backed up for at least a month not even
counting the problem with getting a program to work with. Give me a month
aftrer I get OpenBook and I should be able to start on a new list.

Dear E and Volunteers,
For a lady with a headache, you express yourself very well. I agree with
your points about quantity and quality on Step One. I'm too busy to
validate Hawthorn, but look forward to reading those books about him when
they are approved.
Your idea to talk to the scanner about the short lines is a good one. When
I asked the list, I thought I might get a quick answer and other
volunteers would benefit, too. But for obvious reasons, I work with
specific scanners off list.
To all of you with headaches and bugs...illnesses... . Feel better soon.
Always with love,
Lissi

There are a good many history books which Kenneth Cross submitted and I
validated. some of these are of interest to a wider audience than
others. (I notice a couple more about Hawthorne. Apparently not many
validators are interested in him at the moment.) I will get to the
Hawthorne books when I finish what I am currently working on.
I am less concerned with the download list size than I am that quality of
books keep improving. Children and those new to braille are particularly
put off by poor quality.
