The tip about books.google has been extremely helpful to me, and unfortunately it has shown me how many printing errors occur in books. When I scanned in "Double play" I checked many times on books.google to confirm that some words were printing problems or words used in dialog. I have recently proofread two excellent scans, and once again books.google confirmed when words have contained printing rather than scanning errors, and in these two books the printing errors were 99 percent of the time!

Reggie, I second what Sue says about the Google books thing and want to add that even when the page is not part of the allowed preview it WILL still often tell you that that word or whatever is on that page. So I would type in the misspelled word and even if it would not let me see the whole page it would confirm that that word was spelled in the book as it was in the scan--otherwise it would not have found it in search. I figured out a whole chapter numbering debacle that way, too. lol To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
