I am just starting the book In the Beginning so it will take me a week or
so. I normally scan 50 pages and then edit them, correcting OCR errors and
do spell checking. I can put your name down to validate (proofread) if you
want. If I should be putting "hold for" somewhere besides the comment
section let me know. Chaim Potok died in 2002 at the age of 73. I had never
even heard of this author until a friend gave me a box of books to donate to
our Friends of the Library. I of course went through the box to see if there
were some I could scan and found three books by this author, two of which
are rescans for Bookshare. He is an easy read and I have learned a lot about
a culture I have not been exposed to.

Hi Virginia,
I would like to validate In the Beginning. I love Chaim Potok's writing.
Are you going to read the entire book or only spell check it? Let me know if
you want me to validate it for you. I can see and will check the Jewish
words. If you want me to validate it, I will check the book out from my
local library. Let me know, soon, so that I can order it, if necessary
through Inter-Library Loan.
On a side note, do you know if the author is still alive?
Thanks!
Barbara

I searched for this book on the proofread page and couldn't find it. Will
you please doublecheck and see if it is there and I will try again. This new
web site is going to take some getting used to for me. Jill

I just submitted BSO-The Chosen by Chaim Potok. I did state to hold for Jill
O as requested. The new web page is very nice and submitting the book was
much easier to do. The instant spell check and numbers of "misspelled" words
reported by it was a little scary. I did figure out what the words were they
considered misspelled and were largely correctly spelled but many Jewish
terms that my own spell checker picked up and I had to verify they were
correct.
Have fun reading it. I found it a very interesting book. I will now start on
the last Chaim Potok book I have "In the Beginning"
