Hi Scott,
I think I can very safely put your fears to rest about an increase in fair
books.
Currently just under 5% of BookShare books are rated fair.
In about the last 3,000 books added, only 36 titles rated fair made it into
the collection, a whopping 1.2%.
So the tendency towards fair is definitely false, and as Gerald points out,
today's were done all by the same person.
Also remember that several of the early Spanish books were rated fair
because of the lack of a quality processing tool. My stats above concern all
books, not just English.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Another slew of new books today
I was tipped off, as other listers have stated on previous days, by an
email which informed me of the acceptance of a book of mine. Upon going to
the new English books page, I did indeed find a number of new books. In
that group, there was an unhealthy handful of submissions rated fair, maybe
half a dozen or so. This seemed like a high percentage to me, considering
the capabilities of scanning software these days. Has Bookshare cut down on
the number of fair submissions?
