I check these. Btw, my all-time favorite was in a Robin Cook novel: a .356 magnum. Had to laugh. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Hovas To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2005 12:40 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: BookShare Policy Reminder Gary, Occasionally, books have obvious errors which are also obviously not scanning errors, but errors by the author or editor. These should be left as is. My favorite error is one in Ill Wind by Nevada Barr where she is listing large trucks, as in 18 wheelers, and she says Kenmoore instead of Kenworth, or a brand of home appliances instead of a large truck. As Jake said, though, I imagine a lot of misprints get corrected because it's difficult to tell a misprint from a scanning error most of the time.

Some will say to leave them as is because the goal is a replica of the print copy. However, for scanners who have no way of comparing with the print page, it is likely to be assumed a scanno and thus corrected. Indexes are not considered core content and are not required for BookShare submission, however wherever possible it would be helpful to include them. A student somewhere down the road might be very greatful for that index, as thats what a sighted person would use.
