Hey, Judy!

I only said that because of the way she said it had "discrepancies and 
inconsistencies" which implied to me it likely meant page break issues as well. 
 I saw a book that had about 400 pages according to the TOC, but the collection 
book had 238, so there was no viable way to figure it out since it was not 2:1 
as in unsplit double pages.  Books like that usually need to be rescanned due 
to inappropriate or insufficient page breaks.  If it is a simple thing of 
needing reference points to simply add numbers, I agree with releasing.  

Like everyone else thought, though, I think being able to leave reasons for 
releasing would be VERY helpful!

Valerie
