Katie, I am convinced that scanning errors at least in part, are due to 
bleeding through of printing.

HI Jim,

I am not sure how to over come this one. Looking back over my scanning
career  I have found those kinds of issues tend to show up in paper backs
and books with thinner pages. I didn't put two and two together until you
mentioned this but those books that have been extremely easy to scan with
very few errors have been those with thicker pages. I am finishing a book
here now called Let the good times roll, which has very thick pages and I
have found few errors. I wonder, at times, if the garbled characters aren't
coming through from the other side of a page. Hmmmm.

I have a book here and I have tried scanning this thing several times, with
all kinds of setting changes etc., and I still get garbled letters. My
sighted wife tells me that when she looks at the page, she can see the print

on the back side of the page. She can't read it, but apparently it casts
shadows or whatever.
I'm not sure what to do here.
The book is: Puss 'n Cahoots by Rita May Brown, a Mrs. Murphy mystery. Any
ideas on how to conquer this kind of problem?
