I think if a submitter hears something this, the page is easy to rescan, at least that is what I do.

Jamie, your scans are way better than your description would indicate.
(smile)  They are a breeze to validate.  The raw scans that have been
mentioned here haven't been spellchecked or corrected in any way.  There
are many pages that contain sentences that look like this:

* &ARY wenf to the park, |nad fflew a yellov &fite. *Ihe bought a piilk
ribbon anc a cold Cqke.

Translated, the sentences are:

Mary went to the park and flew a yellow kite.  She bought a pink ribbon
and a cold Coke.

I took this directly from a book I recently rejected.  There were so
many sentences like this that I could have typed the whole book in
faster than editing it.  The submitter could have caught these with even
a very basic spellchecker or just by reading through a few pages at the
beginning of the book.

I do not read any of the scans that I submit but I do view each page
as I scan it and I do correct any scannos as it is going through the
OCR process. Then when the book is finished scanning, I do a spell
check and page up and down through the file looking for random odd things.

I know that is not a perfect system but it seems to work at least
relatively well.
