[bksvol-discuss] Re: Balance

Right on Cindy,  not to forget submitters providing pat, or glib or 
otherwise non informative synopsis like "complex novel",  "it's all in the 
title", or "thorough treatment of the subject at hand".

Ah, Marissa. Here you bring up a subject that's been
much discussed. I think everyone has come to his/her
own conclusions as to what they'll do. Some are going
to do the basics;others of us are going to take the
time to be very thorough. If all scanners checked
their books carefully before submitting, validating
would take less time, but quite a few scanners just
scan and submit.  Just checking for the basics doesn't
catch a lot of errors, and many people have downloaded
books from the collectiion that turn out to be missing
pages or have pages so garbled they're unreadable.
Then they have to be rescanned and re-submitted or are
lost from the collection.
