Remove the add, or put it at the back of the book. I remove the Chicken Soup adds before I submit the books. Those are usually a card insert, usually are are definitely not part of the "body" of the text. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

I am carefully validating The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. It is a wonderful scan and part of the Hard Case Crime series I believe the series title is. But slightly more than halfway through the book, there is what looks to be a two page spread advertising the benefits of becoming a member in this series, get a book every month, etc. What makes this slightly disheartening is that the two page spread happens in the middle of a sentence...i.e., one page ends in the middle of a sentence and then the two page spread begins and then the story picks right back up again with no loss of words. Now I know we can't eliminate text, but this is kind of sad, that the reading in the middle of a sentence has to be interrupted by this advertising. What are my options, besides outright rejecting the book which there is no reason to do? It's got page breaks and I've already done a bit of minor but necessary editing, changing i98o to 1980 for example in many places. Can I move the pages to the beginning or end of the book? Should I put in the long synapsis field that there are two pages of advertising and give the page numbers so that members know what's going on? Any advice or help on how to handle this advertisement would be gratefully received.
