We got it "resolved" by rescanning and Susan reproofed the entire book
again, including drawing all of the rectangles around images and doing the
automatic/manual mixed OCR.  It will be submitted this morning once Susan
wakes up and tells me where she put the file and after I read the
instructions for submissions on BSO web page.

When one trusts Windows...

Have any ideas for a next book, especially one without too many
illustrations?

Take it easy,
