Hi everyone: I just wanted to thank everyone for their supportive comments.
Amber sent me a copy, and I am rereading Dogtown. I have not fixed anything
in it; just looking at it. I see things I'd fix, but so far, nothing that's
too unreadable. I guess I just thought that bookshare's standards didn't
allow for some of the mistakes I found. It's just the way some words
scanned; and some of it is how words are broken up with the author's name or
title splitting the word in two. If we're talking about letter or word
quality, no, it's not perfect; however, it is readable, so far anyway. I'm
in to the second chapter. Patti

Sue will be reading not validating the book for once validated and added to the collection, there is no revalidation.
Let me say something as both a submitter and validator. Once you have been around long enough, you see a lot of things happen to your work that sometimes can rub one the wrong way. As a submitter, I've seen books mangled and refered less useful bvy the time it entered the collection. I've submitted books that, because another person also happened to submit one at more or less the same time, my got rejected even though potentially it might have been better. The other book got accepted first. I have had ratings changed. The bottom line, as I see it, is so what! It's part of life, and as long as the book makes the collection, others will benefit be it my copy, someone elses, or whether the rating reflects the book or not. So relax, Patti, move on to your next book and view this as a learning experience as every validation can be. It gets a lot easier as you do more as you learn the submitters, the tricks of the trade, and a lot more.
