Hi, Bob, thanks for giving me your take on this. I don't wish to poach on
anyone's wishes to proofread a certain book. I'd like to work in tandem with
the submitter of a book so I can be sure of doing a good job. That was my
main concern. Regards, Kim aka Ellinder.

Hi Kim.
You said, "By the by, I've noticed a couple of books submitted by Roger
Drewicke. Do I contact him or just grab a file?" 
I'm not sure what you mean, if you are wondering whether you should contact
a scanning type person before proofing their book, I'd say "No way". Just
grab it and proof it. If I have an email address for the scannor I'll email
them during proofing if I have questions, or once I've submitted the book,
just to let them know that it was a pleasure proofing their book. My
philosophy is: I don't scan because I'm such a lousy scannor, so I proofread
other peoples scans, and I am very greatful for their efforts. If I notice
something that could improve a person's scan I'll let them know nicely.

Just my take on this.

Bob
