Good Jackie. I am glad you rejected it.I was just disappointed about a book that was in the collection. I downloaded it, ready to start reading and what do I find? A mess. I did a quick look through and found many single letters, junk characters and other garbage. Obviously no one did a spell check on this book. This was rated excellent. What annoyed me is that I had the opportunity to buy it on sale. I didn't because it was in the collection rated excellent.
My local library had it and I will start scanning hopefully to night. As I mentioned before the title is It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas. ***** GracePlease sponsor me in the march for independence, Walk for Opportunity in Dallas Texas. Any amount will help, no matter how small.

I just did. Ann, it probably isn't beyond all recognition (though remember the r can stand for repair as well), & for me it is, without being able to contact this person. If it proves this frustrating & aggravating for me (& I'm really interested in the plot) I can only imagine how it would be for some poor newly-blinded high school student who's just learning braille or some unfortunate dyslectic individual trying to negotiate all the indiscipherable words, junk characters, etc. I just don't have the time it'll take to clean it up, nor can I contact the submitter to ask for the book. & I can't see releasing it only to have some1 do a q&d validation, putting it into the collection just for the credit. If admin wants to kick it back to step 1 & override my recommendations simply because it's rated "good", so be it.

Maybe you could contact John Glass about the poor scans from this submitter and she could be offered some assistance, either by you or by John himself.
