Hi Bud,

        You don't need the ISBN, if your book doesn't have one.  I can't
remember exactly when, but before some time I think in the 1970's, books
didn't have them.

        Those long dashes are only a problem for certain speech
synthesizers.  If you switch to eloquence, everything will be pronounced
properly.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] scanning "voyag to the first day of decembere

Hi guys,

As the subject line says I've just started scanning " Voyage to the 
First Day of December by Henry Carlisle.  It seems to take place in 
the 1800's and has to do with mutiny, flogging and hanging and all 
that good stuff.  I'm not far enough into it to get a real picture 
yet. By the way, there doesn't seem to be an isbn number, is that 
going to be a problem?  Another question, since the new "stripper" 
takes numbers from the bottom of the page and puts them at the top, 
is it necessary for us to do the usual line space between page number 
and text if they're at the bottom?  I guess it's not called a 
stripper anymore, that sounds like a burlesque show  One lasdt 
question, or comment maybe I should say.  I hate those long dashes 
they put between words so much these days.  While reading it always 
doesn't pronounce the first letter after the dash and I'm always 
stopping and going back to see if the complete word is there.  I 
wonder if it just reads that way with Kurzweil and maybe not with 
other readers.
I'll announce it when I finish the book and send it in..
