Hi, Shannon.
If it's that bad, I don't think you should make yourself do it.
If you've already done some of the work, you could let Carrie know and she
could put your version on Step One so that the
next proofer doesn't have to do as much editing.
You wouldn't get any credit for it but at least your time wouldn't have been
wasted.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Validating books you hate
Hi, all,
Not owning a scanner, I've been dipping into validating books.
Thankfully, the ones I've picked so far have been good scans and
generally easy to work with.
However, recently I checked out a book that had been awaiting
validation since early December. All was going well--the scan looked
awesome and I was able to fix a few formatting issues. But I couldn't
stand it. The writing was awful, the dialogue contrived, and after
stopping and starting it three times, I finally gave up in despair
and released it for someone else.
Does anyone else ever have this problem? And now I have awful
validator guilt. I mean, it's been up since early December, and the
poor submitter probably really wants his/her credits since s/he
worked really hard at scanning the book.
So I guess my question is... how long do books sit unloved and
unvalidated before someone from Bookshare does it or the system
automatically rejects them? And am I the only one that suffers from
this insane guilt? (OK... probably I am, but hey, what's the Internet
for if not for airing our neuroses in public?)

Who is off to find a book she will hopefully like more
