Yes, but it would be good to have a place to put the reason we're releasing
the book; someone else may not to want to proof the book for the
samereason would like to know that about the book before taking it. If
someone releases a book because there are a lot of formatting problems
another person may not want to take the book for the same reason On the
other hand someone else might be happy to take it. If a book was released
because the language or violence or explicit sex was not to the proofer's
taste, another person seeing the book valuable for checkout might want to
know that and maybe either take it or not.
