I agree with you one can put on here why a book has been released I think that 
beats not knowing for serious real.
If it were my book I'd appreciate knowing if I needed to fix something or not.

        except a person noticing the book wouldn't know that it had been 
released just because you didn't have the time or interest to work on it and so 
might not check it out expecting it to have problems. 
        I repeat my earlier post: one can, and people have, posted here why 
they are releasing a book, whether it's because of lack of time for proofiing, 
needs a sighted person, is nlyh missing copyright page, has a lot of scannos, 
is missing page breaks, etc.

          Lately I have been scanning rather than proofing, but in my early 
days of 
          proofing I used to check out several books at a time and just skim 
over them 
          to decide which one I wanted to work on and then release all the 
rest. That 
          would be an example of a release that would need no comment.

          That would be nice; when you reject a book you can leave comments as 
to why. 
          However, when a book is released, the only people likely to need 
comments 
          would be volunteers who plan to take it; if you post to the list here 
that 
          you're releasing it you can also explain why and what needs to be 
done to 
          it, if anything. I've sometimes seen people post that they're 
releasing it 
          only because they're not interested in the book, or they found they 
don't 
          have time now to proof it; also, that it needs page breaks, or there 
too 
          many scannos and it's nott worth the time to fix ir, andso on.

          I would like to comment on a book, especially if I had problems with 
it so
          others would be aware of them. Regards, Kim Friedman.

          This is true. When you release a book you don't have the opportunity 
to
          leave comments. It would be nice to be able to.
