Oh, I don't even try to scan front covers! <smile> I do have a little bit of vision, although not enough to read even standard large print, but I can usually tell by looking at something whether it'll scan at least fairly well or not. Front covers just won't! <grin> Julie Morales Email: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Windows Live Messenger: inlovewithchrist@xxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mayrie ReNae" <mayrierenae@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 12:52 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Book Covers Hhi Julie, I was curious in the same way. I too have few problems with covers and flaps. I find that front covers are pretty much toast for me to scan, but can almost always scan back covers and inside jacket flaps. I have no idea why there is such difference in results.

Maybe I'm just lucky. What about the front and back flaps? How well do those tend to scan? For me, they tend to scan pretty well, but it's interesting that the covers give so many people trouble. And just so people know, I'm not criticizing or questioning anyone. It's more my own curiosity than anything else.

I always try with every library book with the plastic covers but they never scan well.

It would be good to scan that material if you can do so easily, but it is likely just the synopsis that will be filled in automatically when you submit it. I don't think it is essential, so just skip it. "Philosophers have merely interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it."

I have two library books here that I scanned Saturday and yesterday. Are covers mandatory? I am asking because they refuse to scan. There is obviously stuff written on them, but Kurzweil is not recognizing it all. Should I remove the plastic and attempt to scan the paper beneath it? I hate the thought of doing that since it looks like the sheet is stuck pretty nicely beneath the plastic. -Alyssa ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
