Hi, note that I said "possibly" illegal. From a validator's
standpoint, I don't like trying to find the jacket. Put it at the
beginning or the end but not randomly somewhere. To me, it makes
sense to put it at the beginning since that's the first thing people
read but I've seen it at the very end. It probably doesn't matter
legally except the content of the book is misrepresented because the
jacket is a few pages into the frontmatter.

This is wrong and could possibly be illegal. You should scan in the=20 exact order of the book. If the jacket is on the outside, scan it=20 first, not arbitrarily after two pages. Often with books I validate=20 the jacket is at the very beginning or the very end. Putting it=20 somewhere else is just confusing. NLS makes their own rules that=20 don't necessarily apply to printed books. Please put the jacket at=20 the beginning of the book in the future. Thanks very much.
