Shoot them! Regards, Kim. P.S.: I sympathize. I really do. Now if you can show that the publisher quality book is lousy as compared to yours ...Would that help a little bit?K. P.P.S.: The remark on the top of this message is facetious and not recommended. I don't want you to get in trouble.

And Waterbrook Press is not listed on the list of publishers who submit books, so how can this sort of thing be avoided. I spent hours on this book, but I guess each of us will just have to go through this sort of waste of time periodically. And I didn't even enjoy the book that much.

We are contacting you because the book you proofread, Extraordinary: The Life You're Meant To Live by John Bevere , has not been added to Bookshare. We cannot add your book to the collection because: The publisher put a copy of this book into the collection earlier this morning. Sorry! We encourage you to resubmit this book if you can fix the problem. Please contact volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if you need more information regarding your submission. We appreciate the time you spend contributing to Bookshare, and look forward to continuing to build the collection together.
