I only saved the instructive content of the message not the hole message. I hope that isnt considered a serious rights violation. :-)
Here are the directions given by Carrie Karnos. At least I properly attribute the following to it's author. :-)


The title of the book-
 This one's pretty easy, although occasionally the title on the cover
 of the book will be different from the title inside.  Try checking the
 copyright page, to see what the official title is.

The author of the book-
This one is horrendously messy, so it's been divided into several
sections.
A) For each author's name, please
1) put the first name first and the last name last
Wrong: Ahl, Allison Right: Allison Ahl
2) drop all titles, honorifics, occupations, degrees, etc.
Wrong: Dr. Bart Ball Right: Bart Ball
Wrong: Clara Crawl, MSW Right: Clara Crawl
Wrong: Senator Dee Dahl Right: Dee Dahl
Exception: if the title is part of the official name, leave it in
Wrong: Seuss Right: Dr. Seuss
3) drop all commas inside a name
Wrong: Fred Fall, Jr. Right: Fred Fall Jr.
4) keep periods after initials and Jr.
Wrong: Gigi G Gall Right: Gigi G. Gall
5) put a space between initials
Wrong: H.H. Hall Right: H. H. Hall
B) For multiple authors, please
1) for each name, follow the guidelines above
2) separate each name with a comma, not 'and' or '&' or '/'
Wrong: J. James and J. Jones Right: J. James, J. Jones
Wrong: Kay & Ken Kent Right: Kay Kent, Ken Kent
Wrong: James/Jones/Kent Right: J. James, J. Jones, Ken Kent
3) do not use 'Va rious' or 'et al' or 'others' as an author, list all of the authors
Wrong: Various Right: B. Bell, D. Dell, F. Fell, G. Gell
Wrong: James et al. Right: J. James, J. Jones, Ken Kent
C) For editors, compilers, adapters, translators, etc., please
1) spell out his/her function after each name
Wrong: L. Lay, M. May (editors) Right: L. Lay (editor), M. May (editor)
Wrong: Nan Nall (Comp) Right: Nan Nall (compiler)
Wrong: Edited by Olive Owl Right: Olive Owl (editor)
Wrong: Trans. Peter Paul Right: Peter Paul (translator)
D) If the author's name is missing, please
1) use the editors of the company that put out the book
Wrong: None Right: The Editors at the Walt Disney Company

The copyright author of the book-
 This one's also pretty easy, except for those cases where there is no
 copyright author listed.  In that case, use the author's name. Don't
 use the publisher's name, unless the company holds the copyright.

The copyright date-
 If there are several copyright dates of the book (NOT the copyright of
 the introduction or the illustrations or the short stories), then use
 the most recent date.

Hi . Would someone mind sending these guidelines to me again too since I was
just looking through my notes and don't seem to have that filde and thought
I did. My last book Some enchanted season doesn't seem to have been fully
approved yet, and I just downloaded treasure of the heart by pat lewis and I
enjoy validating, but it things don't ever appear in the collection, well,
then I may just stick with donating books to be added. Maybe I AM just
impatient, but am hoping the guidelines might help the books appear in the
new books section faster. Anywauy, if someone wouldn't mind passing that
along to me again that'd be great thanks.
