Oh wow no I didn't where it says publisher and their name is that right? But no I surely didn't do that thanks for the reminder.

Gwen,
Did you try deleting the publisher?  Sometimes that works.

I did that, but when I let it go then it said error and would not let me
check it  back in.

Gwen,
I'm pretty sure that the book with too many pages was actually fine. When
you check in a book that you've proofread, I don't believe that it is
analyzed again for the number of pages. The number of pages is an edit box
where you can enter the number of pages. Many time I have had to change
this to reflect the actual number of pages in the book. So, for future
reference, don't be worried if the number of pages isn't the same as the
number in your file.

I'm sure that some of the older books may be more complicated than some
proofers can handle, but I'm also sure that some were overlooked and some
people just weren't interested in proofing. There are several books on
Shakespeare and Wordsworth, that have been up there for a long time, that
I, and I'm sure others, are simply not interested in, but they may be
perfectly good scans. I don't know. I'm also sure that there's someone who
would be willing to take them, but may not have seen them.

I have tended to grab from the first pages as well, but I have looked at
some of the other pages. I  was afraid if they were still there after a
long time, that they might be something I couldn't handle not knowing a
lot yet.
I had 3 books I had to release one had to many pages, I got the extra
pages out OK because it was a repeat of the same book, but when I went to
put it back up it still said the original number of pages, so I knew
there was some kind of trouble that I could not fix.
The other two had something about page breaks not  being right, and I
knew I'd screw those up, so had to let them go.

I also released this book for that reason. I'm thinking that, when we
release a book for a similar reason to this, perhaps we could send a
note to the list, and bring it to the attention of someone who might be
able to fix it.

This discussion of how long books stay on the checkout list got me to
thinking. I notice that many books are taken from the first page or 2 of
results, and not the last pages. I wonder if more of the older books
would be taken, if the sort order was reversed so that the older books
appeared first. I know I've been guilty of taking the first book that
looks interesting, instead of going through the whole list.

I just decided to see which book has been on the checkout list the
longest and it turns out that it is one that has been downloaded by a
number of people including me. It is "The Man Who Made Husbands
Jealous." It has been there for about two years now and it is actually
ready for the collection except for one problem. There are several
pages near the beginning of the book that contain a list of characters
and a description of each. The problem is that the names do not match
up with the descriptions. I remember that I released it because I could
not tell which name belonged with which description and I could not
quite tell where one description ended and another one began. It is
likely that that is why others have released it too. I suspect that a
sighted proofreader might be able to tell how to match them up or, if
not, the problem pages might just need a rescanning. I thought I would
just bring this to your attention so that maybe someone can take a look
at it and perhaps get it moving on its long overdue way.
