[bksvol-discuss] Re: Looking for a Submitter

Well, I hope staff can contact her and see if there is a way to help with the 
problem.
This book "When the Heart Waits" was very interesting and would have been a 
fine addition to the collection.  However, it is a Harper Collins book though 
copyrighted in the early 90s, so maybe it will be a PQ submission someday if 
the submitter cannot be reached.

  Lori, I've had the exact same problem with Sister Dean's books, and could 
never find a way to contact her.  It's something in the way she's scanning or 
editing her scans.  The books were very good scans, but missing all the 
quotation marks.  It's impossible to fix that without spending way more time 
than it would take to rescan the book. I wish someone could get hold of her and 
tell her what's happening, as I hate rejecting otherwise excellent scans.

    Hi Lori,

    Oh, I agree it's a bummer to reject the book, but definitely way too much 
work to have to insert quotation marks.  I am curious as to why and how they 
were removed.  I'll never know, but it's very odd.

    Hope you find another book to proofread that you enjoy soon!

    Mayrie, That was a helpful thought, but unfortunately it is not the case 
with this book.

    I decided to see if I could get some information from google.books. I 
pulled up two sentences that I thought should be in quotations.  They were in 
quotations on google books, but not in the book I'm proofreading.

    Unfortunately, I have decided to reject the book.  In order to create an 
accurate copy someone would have to make many comparisons between the print 
book and the bookshare copy.
    Sad because it is a very interesting book.

    Thanks again for your suggestion.

    Lori

      Hi Lori,

      You might look at the font of the book you're working with.  I have 
proofread a couple of books where the conversation isn't in quotes, but that 
text is either bolded or italicized.  Is that maybe the case with your book?  
Just a suggestion.

      Sorry, I don't know how to contact either of the folks that you want to 
contact.

      Good luck and happy proofreading!

      Mayrie

      Hi, Everyone,

      Does anyone know how to contact Sister M. Delores Dean?
      I am proofreading one of her submissions and am puzzled.  The book does 
not use quotations around statements that seem to be quotations.

      This is the second book in a week where I have needed to reach the 
submitter and have had no way of doing so.  I contacted Carrie and Scott about 
the first instance, as well as this list, but because of their work load I have 
heard nothing.

      So if anyone knows how to reach either Casey Matthews or Sister M. 
Delores Dean I would appreciate knowing.

      Lori C.
