No I don't, just remember there was another one 
like this one. I should've brought it up then but just went ahead and cleaned 
it 
up with kurzweil before reading it.

  Hi 
  Bob,

Unfortunately your example is white on white, so we sighted people 
  can't see it unless we highlight the page.  Once highlighted, it looks 
  like there are a bunch of capital A's with carets on top, which John Glass 
  said were smart quotes. (This occurred last week, with another book). 
  Evidently the stripper chokes on smart quotes.  We need garden-variety, 
  ordinary, normal, stupid quotes in books.
Do you have a list of books that 
  are mangled this way?  I'll try to fix them.

Carrie

  Just to add to this post here's an example. 
   
  Â"Then I pass,Â"Ben said.
  The bartender shrugged and started to move away when Ben laid his badge on 
  the counter. The bartender looked at the badge then up at Ben, obviously 
  unimpressed.
  Â"Two people were gunned down in front of your place about twenty minutes 
  ago,Â"Ben said. 
  The bartender's stare never wavered. Â"Yeah, so I heard.Â"
  Â"Don't suppose you heard the shots?Â"
  Â"I don't suppose I did,Â"the bartender drawled.
  Â"Then who called the cops?Â"Ben asked.
  The bartender shrugged. Â"Some guy came in off the street, said there were 
  two bodies in the snow. I showed him where the phone was. He used it. That's 
  all I know.Â"
  Â"Is he still here?Â"Ben asked.
  Â"Nope.Â"
  Â"Can you tell me what he looked like?Â"
  Â"Nope.Â"
  Ben had to resist the urge to grab the bartender's shirt and shake that 
  insolent tone out of his voice. 
  He turned around and raised his voice so that it could be heard throughout 
  the small room. 
  Â"Anybody in here see what happened outside?Â"
  Nobody answered. 
  Â"Anybody hear anything . . . like gunshots

    Someone take a look at Butterfly and no this is 
    a different one that was put into the collection earlier. There is a mark 
in 
    it but can't reproduce it here but it throws everything off with speech. I 
    cleaned my copy up that I downloaded and there were over 5400 in the book. 
    It is at the beginning and end of quotes. This should have been easy to fix 
    and there have been a few books like this.
