I am sorry to say that if you look in the scanning and propof
reading manual there is no requirement for anyoneto read the whole
book. There are things people should clean up but nothing says,
"Books must be thoroughly read." I've had at least a few cases
where someone apparently trusted my scanning and preparation efforts
enough to approve the book right away. This is flattering but makes
me nervous. Hey, I'm only human.
Would it be helpful for a person with a special problem to say,
"Hold for chart reader" or "Hold for recipe reader" so that not just
one person would need to pick up a certain book? And although we
all want our books checked properly and have probably discovered
that some might do a better job than others, there are probably
plenty of people who would like a chance, and they deserve a wide
choice of books. I do not put hold fors on books, but for those who
do, maybe we need to build a sense of trust in the community by
letting the proof readers in the pool have more free reign. We
aren't choosing among competitors here, we are all working
together. Naturally, the proof readers will understand the trust
that they are receiving and react accordingly.
Optimistically Yours,
Ilene
