Hi Jess,
It looks like every other paragraph is italicized, which implies that there is
a conversation going on. I'm assuming that this is what you wanted.
If I may be so bold, may I suggest a few other things that would improve your
book? These are all optional, not required, but they are little niceties that
make the book more readable for Bookshare members.
1. In the first paragraph, there's a forward slash (/) that should be an
italicized I (I).
2. Please change em-dashes (—) to space, hyphen, hyphen, space ( -- ). I'm
hoping that the cataloging tool in the new website will eliminate this sort of
change. We'll see!
3. Looks like the last word on page 164 should be changed from cheerydeary to
cheery-deary, based on the rest of that paragraph.
4. On the second page, there are 3 asterisks (*) and 4 ending braces (}) that
look like they should be question marks.
As I said, these are not required changes, but they would be very nice.
Thanks a bunch! Carrie

I finished the book "The Things That Are"! It was really spell
binding! It was also pleasant to finally read a book in excellent
condition that had almost no errors. I think there will be no errors
by the time I am through with it.
Could you take a look at the attached file for me? I attempted
to fix the problem from the first email, but do not know if I
italicized the entire paragraph.
In addition to that paragraph, I also added in some others I
would like someone to look at and tell me if certain lines are
italicized. If it is possible, I would appreciate it if you could
include the lines that are italicized in your email.
To popularplace@xxxxxxxxx: could you please forward the email you
sent to my 17razz@xxxxxxx account containing the lines for the first
paragraph I sent?
Thanks,
Jess
