Jill, if the book title is scrambled from the title page, you can usually
find it in the copyright info or the Library of Congress info. You may
also find it in the front matter, the book back cover, the front and back
flap, and of course from the page headers. If you can't determine what
the title is you can't post the book. If you determine for sure what the
title/author is, edit the book title page to add/correct relevant info.
If you feel going the extra mile, enlarge the font for the author/title
on the title page to make it look realistic.

[bksvol-discuss] Re: "Water" validation
One of the problems I have come to realize is that often the title of a
book
is in such large print that the scanner doesn't recognize it and if the
person doing the scanning is blind, they wouldn't be aware of this. In
fact,
I would appreciate some direction from Bookshare on how to handle the
title
pages since often their formatitng and layout cause real scanning
problems.
Should we include them regardless or use our own discretion? Book covers
are
particularly challenging. If this issue has been discussed before, I
apologize for bringing it up again but would like some guidance.
