Hi Lissi,
Just wanted to let you know that I've filed a book quality report on
"Odds Against", and it will be looked into by our book quality report
processing team shortly. We welcome such reports from the volunteer
community, regardless of whether it was an outsourcer, a volunteer or a
publisher who processed the book.
Warm regards,
Pavi

Dear Bob, and Booksharian Friends,
We sympathize.
Ingathering was scanned and proofread by one of Bookshare's out
sourcers,

Evan and I are reading Dick Francis's first Sid Halley novel, Odds
Against which was processed by the same group and it's missing all of
the chapter headings, has a very few scannoes and is missing paragraph
breaks where the lines of dialogue are short. Goes to show that we
volunteers, working for free, when we take care, can produce better
quality books than companies being paid. It also goes to show that
protecting chapter heads with our tried and true formula,
blank line
page number
blank line
chapter name
blank line
text,
still works most reliably. Maybe they should try our method.
Always with love,
Lissi

I am currently reading
"Ingathering: The Complete People Stories of Zenna Henderson".
This is a book of short stories, and, dammit, some of the story
titles are missing.
There's nothing more disparaging than to be reading a story and
have something surrealistic happen only to find out it's a different
story.
We had this problem with the old stripper but I thought her
younger daughter had learned better.
Can't engineering fix something as minor as a story title?
