I've just submitted Prize Cache. It has a 98.2 ranked spelling score, has all
page numbers at the tops of the pages, and I don't think it will require much
work. The spelling score is caused by the abundance of proper personal and
place names in the book, and a section where the author describes some of the
pitfalls of writing for a newspaper, so if it should be spell checked again, it
needs to be read first; otherwise, by correcting some of the deliberate
misspellings, the spirit and intent of the column called "To Err is Human"
would be lost. All the pertinent information is below.
Title: Prize Cache
Author: Riley Nicholas Kelly
Copyright Holder: Riley Nicholas Kelly
Copyright date: 1974
Short Synopsis: A collection of prize winning writings by Riley Kelly,
including columns from the Monroe Journal, history and legends of South
Alabama, short fiction, and an inspirational essay and poem.
ISBN 0-682-48013-4
Comment: Ranked spelling gave this book a 98.2 before anything was ignored.
It contains many proper personal and place names, some of which will be
unfamiliar, and it also uses some contractions. There is also a section about
writing for a newspaper with deliberate spelling mistakes in it, correction of
which would spoil the fun and intent of the column. I suggest reading it
before spell checking. If you have questions, e-mail
