Thank you, Marissa.
I'll keep this message with the name of the submitter from which E-books
are accepted. That is why I suggested an explanation for admin, so if I
was wrong the book wouldn't disappear forever. :-) If there are more
names we should look out for please let us know. Otherwise, should we
accept anything with some kind of statement saying it was scanned and
just keep everything that was no matter who did it, and then just delete
the E-book notice?

Hey Andrew,
No problem. I can kick it back to the download cue right now.
Just for future reference for everyone, the submitter on the books from
the University of Montana is jim Marks and some may contain that e-text
notice.
Best,
Marissa

Marissa,
Yikes. Sorry, i did reject the book. If it is found to be up for use, I
would love to clean it. I love java :-) (and yes, i mean java
programming). The title was java solutions.
