Hi Alyssa and everyone!
It might also be helpful to state in brackets that it is the end of the
footnote, so it's very clear to the reader.

Hi Ellen,
Usually when there is a footnote, I take out whatever symbols are before
it since they probably won't read in braille. Since they do vary, it seems
easier to just put the word footnote in brackets followed by a colon and
then the text.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] end-of-page oddity
Hi group,
I have a problem and am not sure how to solve it. The book I'm currently
working on, Boys Adrift by Leonard Sax, has a number of pages with notes
at the end of the page. In the text of the page, and before the notes
themselves, there seem to be symbols showing that a footnote appears. I've
checked books.google.com to find out what symbol this might be, but there
appears to be no consistency from one instance to another. It seems to be
either an asterisk, a single dagger, a single quote, a caret, or, most
often, nothing at all. There are a number of pages where no symbol appears
in the text to show what the note at the foot of the page refers to.
So, my question is: what the heck do I do to remedy this?Since even Google
books is so inconsistent, I'm thinking the only way to fix it is by having
someone sighted get it from the library and go through it with me.
Any other ideas or help?
Thanks,
Ellen
