Great!  The book is at the office, if you have any questions about anything in 
there...

  Hi Carrie,
   
  I grabbed the Doris Da biography and so far it is in excellent shape.  I have 
been wishing her bio was in the collection.
   
  Thanks,
  Sue S.

  I frequently validate my own submissions.  That group of 15 books I submitted 
yesterday was from a group of 25 books, 10 of which I edited myself because 
either there were massive amounts of garbage characters (kiddie books with lots 
of pictures) or there was some white text on a black background (do I need to 
retype those sections or can I safely ignore them?) or there were charts and 
graphs in a book (or I wanted to read the book myself).  If you know that 
validators will have problems and you have books handy, I recoommend validating 
problem books yourself.  And of course if a book of mine is on the download 
list for more than a month, I'll validate it just to get it into the collection.
   
  My 2 cents, Carrie

  My understanding is that Bookshare prefers that we not validate our own 
submissions. I would only do this if the book were on the step one page for 
more than three months or I really knew why validators were having problems 
with the book.
