Hi, Cindy! Personally, I think your picture descriptions are great.
However, it isn't necessary to do that if the pictures are part of the ads,
or if there are captions to go along with them. Well, maybe the caption
thing isn't a hard and fast rule, but for the most part, I've found that
they give enough info to get the idea. <Smile> What is this particular book
about? The title sounds interesting.

This is weird. In the upper corner of one of the first pages of the book (Passions of Chelsea Kane) it says Large Print edition, and it has the same ISBN number--actually, has two ISBN numbers.
But I'm sure, Gary, that the one you scanned is a paperback edition, and I've ordered ir from the library by using the ISBN number, so I'm sure I'll be getting the correct copy.
And I see from the downloaded file that there are more ads at the end of the book, too. They reallay know how to market books, don't they (smile). But it's a good thing for the authors.

O.K., Gary. I've got them.
I say them because you have two copies on the download list. I'll keep the one that had your comments about the hyphens et al and will reject the other, so don't be upset if you get a rejection (smile). It's only one and I still have the other.
I see it was a large type edition. I'll request it and fill in the missing ad pages and validate it. I won't bother to describe the pictures of the books, though, unless, people, you want me to. I'll just put in the text.
I ran a quick spell-check and it looks good, but I'll fix the hyphens and anything else I find. I gather from recent posts that most of you don't care about formatting? The impression I've gotten is that it doesn't affect your reading pleasure if you're Braille or Daisy audo reader, but what about if you're an html reader or if a person is in a different membership category. Maybe this is a question for the administrators, and maybe, Carrie or Gerald, you could ask? Are there members for whom a standardized format, like the book, is preferable? It only takes a little more time and no more effort for me to fix the format as I'm validating.
