Amen, aloisious. I am in full agreement. And as your rejecting all those books, please e-mail booksharescans@xxxxxxx with title/author.

But It takes a grand total of just 1 hour and 5 minutes to scan an entire 450 page paperback book, page breaks, font info, and all the rest. Than it takes about 90 minutes to do some basic cleanup, and finally an average of a couple of hours to spellcheck it. I really do not understand why we are even bothering to discuss salvage operations for DOA submissions, when the culling ax and a quick rescan is the only merciful course of action for most of these runts.

(Gotta love consensus, huh?) Look for a message from me by the end of the week. Did everyone have a good Christmas?

Is there any word yet on what to do with txt files or if they will be accepted without hard breaks, with spaces and page numbers instead? That doesn't prevent the breaks Word puts in in the wrong places, but by adding line spaces or changing font the file can probably be made to coincide with the book. When I finish Johnny Tremain I'm thinking of fixing one of those troublesome romances, since I found a copy. As things stand now, I think the best thing for me to do is to reject the txt file and submit a new rtf file with page breaks. Cindy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo!
