Kim glad you have made a report. We all need to remember to do just that
when a book is deffective! (smile!) I'm still waiting to the Simply Good
Bread book to get fixed, too. One thing I keep forgetting or maybe it's
laziness, too, is to report when books don't have categories associated with
them.

Hi, sas a matter of fact, I did do a book quality report on this book I
mentioned. I'm just warning anyone who downloads it. I don't know if my
issue has been resolved or not so I'll have to take a look I guess.
Regards, Kim Friedman.

I would also encourage using that quality reporting. From my experience,
those reports are taken seriously and the issues do get fixed.
