Hello,

I have noticed several books that appear to have not been proofread
very well. Take for example
http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/9173/Flawless%20Consulting%20?returnPath=
L3NlYXJjaD9rZXl3b3JkPUNvbnN1bHRpbmcm,
which has weird symbols replacing text throughout, and is completely
unreadable, or a book like Elantris by Brandon Sanderson or Wizard's
First Rule, which both have inconsistant letters. (Sool V. Fool, harm
V. Ham, torn V. tom)

Is there any process by which vollunteers can help clean up poor books
likes these?
