Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

No, I will not do that. It is not illegal. If it were, NLS wouldn't be
legally able to do it. It is not an arbitrary position. And please tell
me
how confusing it would be to put half the dusd jacket information at the
beginning of the book, and half at the end? Keep in mind that dust jacket
information often breaks off in the middle of a sentence at the end of the
inside front cover in order to continue it on the back cover. A sighted
person can simply flip the book and resume reading with hardly a pause,
while someone reading a computer file has to go to the end of the file,
then
search backwards to find where the back cover information begins - again,
often in the middle of a sentence.
Forget it.

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

I always put the dust jacket info in my submissions, just after the title
page and copyright info, which usually appears on the following page.
That
is the way NLS does it, and it seems as logical to me as any other
method.
