I don't want the book pulled from the collection, just fixed.  Someone did a 
lot of good work.

It's just that something happened along the way.  Maybe you can send this where 
it needs to go?
There are a lot of pages missing in that download.  I think that if the scan is 
rated excelent, all the pages should be there, in order, and no loops in the 
thext.
