I haven't downloaded much from the new site, but I think I actually encountered this on the old site. It was very odd, too, since the book was in otherwise excellent condition--I think Dr. Cross actually scanned it, and his work is always nearly flawless. It didn't happen very much, but there were sections that were just plain not there. The books I know this happened in are:
Classical Mythology: Images and Insights The Americans: The Democratic Experience Kelby"Oh Adam's sons, how cleverly you defend yourself from all that might do you good."

Hi All,
I apoligize for the cross post, but I am having a problem with
BRF files,
and before I complain to Bookshare, I want to know if other users
of BRF
files are experiencing this problem.
Throughout several books I have downloaded that were added since
the new
site went live, there seem to be places where some text is
skipped. There
will be a capital sign by itself, an apostrophe by itself, or an
open or
closed quotes by themselves, then some text is skipped. It is
like a quote
is interrupted, and then the text is skipped. This happens too
many times
for me to give examples.
However, I proofread A Stranger Is Watching, by Mary Higgins
Clark, and I
know all of the text was there. So is anyone else noticing this?
Also,
words that do not need italics are italicized.
Thank you.
Sue S.
