Hi, Cindy and all,

I have Theresa's email, and I can email her.  I'll do it right now.

If no one else is, and no one is in a hurry for it--which I assume is the case since it's been sitting there for so long, I'm prepared to take it--but I just went to the list and it isn't there in rtf--just in ark. I think you'd have to reject the ark and submit the rtf version. Does anyone know how to contact Theresa Taylor to see if she can convert it and resubmit it, or if she doesn't care if someone else rejects and submits the rtf version? If not, I'll ask Pavi to contact her. Hang on to that, please, Ann, until we find out what she'll do.

Hi all,

I just released 'Iron Lake' by William Kent
Krueger.  It's a mystery
about Minnesota and a rural area.

This is one of the books at the end of the step 1 list.  It
is in ark
format.  I downloaded it and converted it to RTF.

Unfortunately, it is *not* an excellent book.
Kurzweil's Ranked
Spelling gives it a 96% rate, which is not excellent.   It
needs to
have its headers removed, many of the pages have mistakes
on them,
there are many common scanos present, and frankly, this
book needs more
babying than I'm prepared to give it right now.  I
notice this book has
a history of people who started with it, and gave up.
There are
several Krueger books up there, all in ark and probably all
scanned by
the same person.  The stories look good.  However, this is
going to
have to be tackled by a validator who is prepared to read
the whole
book, and to painstakingly and lovingly correct the huge
number of
errors present.  This job is *not* for me.  Sorry, folks,
but if I took
this on, I'd be working on the book from now till
Christmas and
probably beyond!  I hope that somebody will take on this
challenge and
bring this or these books up to snuff, but that person
ain't me.

Ann P.
