Jessica, I certainly agree that it is a sad thing to have to reject a book. However, I have validated books from one submitter who did great scans except for four or five pages in the book which were totally unradable. At first I asked another volunteer to get the print books and scan missing or garbled pages which I would paste into the book.
However, I finally got the email of the submitter and requested pages from that person. When I never got a response I unfortunately just rejected the books.
It is a sad thing to reject a book, especially when it is a good book but sometimes you jus have to do it.
And I agree with you; if a submitter does not want to read the book through, the person needs to at least check to be sure all pages are there and legible. A validator can do only so much.
Hang in there and know that you will have many fine submissions to validate. Cat Lover Lori----- Original Message ----- From: "Jessica A" <jla2009@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

NOds. Well. I rejected it due to the rule of the missing pages or messed up pages. MOst of the book was good quality. I can see there are mixed feelings on this. So in a way I am glad I rejected it. It is too bad though in a way because it is an excellent book. If it weren't for those few mess ups. And if they were just a few scan errors here and there I would ignore that. But this was totally unreadable on at least 5 pages. I think if one scans something they should look at what they scanned and make sure it scanned right all the way through before uploading it. But that is just my personal oppinion. Maybe someone else can get that book and scan it. It is a good read. From a good series too.Jessica To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
