Jana,
I've got something just as good for validating: a very sweet wife who will
help check questionable places in the scan. I have to admit, though, that I
had to ask for a lot more help with this one than I usually do. Jan Karon's
books seem to take four or five times more effort to validate than normal
books.

LOL! In the future, one thing that may help is to have a copy of the Web
Braille version, unless you don't have a way to access those. I know that
some people feel strongly about having books on Bookshare that are already
available through NLS, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to be able to
access a book from more than one source. I'm not talking about copying, I'm
talking about comparing, so that you know that it's dialect and not scannos.
If that doesn't make sense, I apologize. I'm still having a hard time
expressing myself right now, with all this pain in my head and everything.
<Smile> Take care!
Jana
