Folks, My point here was really to simply ask what were supposed to be the next steps from the e-mail I received . That e-mail is not very clear and I'd suggest Bookshare think about improvements of whatever part of it is auto-generated to give next step ideas. If there's a volunteer interested in fixing this book feel free to do so. As I mentioned, I have neither the time or interest in making the corrections. The book read well enough for me. I fully recognize my standards may not be those of Bookshare's and respect their can be differing views on the topic.

Why some submitters think that all they have to do is run a book through the scanner and the validator should do the rest is simply beyond me. A close relationship between submitter and validator seems to be the answer, resulting in the excellent end-product that we have now come to expect. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Parsons" <akp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 4:05 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: FW: A book you have recently uploaded requires further editing > Hi all, > > Kelly, the first problem is an easy do, and you can solve the second > problem by running the spell checker.
