I really like that idea. I sometimes write--again in the synopsis but perhaps 
in the future in a review if I remember--that spelling and grammatical or 
punctuation  errors are as they  are  in the print book for the reason you 
mention.

I really wish there were a comments section that proofreaders could use to 
write comments about the book for the reader. Would that be possible, Pavi?

I would like a definitive rule from Bookshare about 
print errors. /For instance, could we put sic after the word when it is a 
misprint; otherwise readers will think it's a scanning error that we didn't 
catch. Jill

I think the rule is to match it as closely to 
  the book as possible, so let it stand. By the way, as irritating as it might 
  be to the reader, that should be done, too, when there is a typographical 
  error or a misprint.

Hi 
  all, 

I’m working on The Lady in Blue by Javier Sierra.  At 
  the end of the book is a document written in old Spanish.  Some of the 
  “abnormalities” are standard
orthographic conventions of the period, things 
  like using the letter u where in modern Spanish there would be a V.  
  others are the result of the font. 
So, for instance,  the letter 
  S looks like an F.  This also is typical of period texts.  My 
  question: Should I correct/modernize it, or should I leave
it?  One 
  option would be to correct font issues, but leave the period orthography 
  intact.   There is an English translation following the Spanish 
  text. 

I appreciate any 
  input. 

Thanks,

Donna
