Dear Cindy,

Dear Lissi,
Since the book apparently is intended for a certain age group, perhaps teenage or pre-teen, I would not rate it as adult but would put what you said here about the language in the long synopsis. Some parents might object to their kids reading such words but, as you say, kids today probably hear them and wouldn't be upset. Anyway, it's for the parent to judge, I think, and they should have the knwoldege.
As to the location of page numbers, is the book you hve the same edition as the one that was submitted? And does the file have hard breaks? I leave the page numbers in the file where they are, only some books that were txt don't have hard breaks anyway and it's hard to tell where they belong, so then I go by the book and put the break in above or below th page number--with a line space separating it from the text and from the page break.

Dear Friends,
The book I'm going to upload was written with an adult audience in mind, but isn't really graphic in describing sex. The f word is used often though not outlandishly. It's a different world and second graders probably notice it far less than I do. How do I decide if it should have an adult rating?
In the memoir, the narriator is age 8 through 12 in about half of the book and a teenager in the rest. Most of the sixties occur in the 1960's and recall the boy's efforts at learning to play guitar, forming a rock and roll band, beginning to feel critical of his father and coping with first dates. So, some teens might be interested in it.
I'd also like to know if it helps a book to have page numbers at the tops of pages instead of at the bottoms. In the scan I have they appear at the top, but in the print book they are at the bottom.
Is placing a blank line above and below each page number the accepted way to protect it so it will appear in BRF files?
Thanks to anyone who thinks about helping or posts advice.
Always with love,
Lissi
