Hi Roger,
The BTC books are not practice books, just easier proofreads than scans that
haven't been tweeked a bit. Some common issues have been fixed in them,
namely the conversion of smart quotes to regular quotes among other things.

Btc is an abbreviation for batch. As I understood it, it is pointless for
the experienced proofreader to proof the Btc books. As I understood it those
books are only for practice by the beginning volunteer before starting
actual volunteer work and do not actually enter the collection. If someone
knows for sure and I am incorrect then please correct me.

Hi Cindy,
BTC in front of a title on the check out a book page means that it has had
some formatting of the file done by Bookshare before being submitted. The
original intent was that those files would be easier for new volunteers to
work on than completely raw scans. I think, though, that if you want to
proofread one of those books, and it's still sitting there, you are free to
do so. Since no inexperienced volunteer has grabbed the book, and those
books were submitted quite a long time ago, you may as well proofread the
book if you want to.
