Tony, by copy of this note, I am requesting gustavo to get in touch with
you and identify the obviously illegal submission of a commercial eText to
Bookshare. The book needs to be purged from the system asap and the
submitter suspended by his/her/its thumbs.
Now for the missing title in a book. If I find an obvious ISBN in a book
I am reviewing am able sometimes to find corresponding author and title on
the internet. In such case I add them in the mangled titlepage.
Otherwise I nuke the book without mercy. However, in this issue I seek
guidance from Gustavo/Marissa, because perhaps I am being far too
merciful and should nuke any book with missing author/title in the
titlepage even though such information can be reconstructed with some
effort.

Hi. I'm not a submitter, but I'm not quite sure I follow you. If the
title page is stripped, the book should probably be rejected anyway. The
policy is, as I understand it, that all books must have at a minimum a
title, author, copyright date and copyright name. Other things like ISBN
are helpful too but not necessary.
However, since we're on the subject of notes, I would like to add
something
to watch out for. I noticed at least one Star Trek book which was
submitted and had to be rejected. It had all the standard information in
a
printed book, but the line which indicates what edition it is called it
something like "first e-book printing" or similar. It also had
placeholder
text for a couple logos. As scanners know, the logo either wouldn't scan
at all or be garbled. Please be especially careful with those because
they
are next to impossible to tell from the real book scans.
