In the validation guidelines, the question they pose is, "Could someone just
walk into a bookstore and buy this book off the shelf?" In the case of the
books you mention, I believe the answer is yes. Is this the rule others use
for validating adult content?

And when I looked in the collection I saw a lot of Bertrice Small books that were visible without my logging in, so I know they aren't rated Adult, either. They all should be, because, though they are fun and valuable to read because of the historic details included, they all have pretty graphic sex scenes, the only difference between them being how many and how graphic. The automatic rater won't catch them, because the words used are lovely euphmisms, not our blunt or slang terms. Validators should rate them Adult . It's not just children, either -- I know there are people on this list who I suspect don't want to read scenes like that, although they can skip those and can go on with the story.

Hi Julie,
well, I validated the Sherbrooke Bride and I knew because I read it from cover to cover just about, that it had a couple of very grafic sex seens I would not want my kids reading and it didn't catch it so...it may help but it missed this one.
