Hi Carrie, I grabbed the Doris Da biography and so far it is in excellent shape. I have been wishing her bio was in the collection. Thanks, Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Karnos To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2006 1:52 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Admin. Q I frequently validate my own submissions. That group of 15 books I submitted yesterday was from a group of 25 books, 10 of which I edited myself because either there were massive amounts of garbage characters (kiddie books with lots of pictures) or there was some white text on a black background (do I need to retype those sections or can I safely ignore them?) or there were charts and graphs in a book (or I wanted to read the book myself). If you know that validators will have problems and you have books handy, I recoommend validating problem books yourself. And of course if a book of mine is on the download list for more than a month, I'll validate it just to get it into the collection.

I would only do this if the book were on the step one page for more than three months or I really knew why validators were having problems with the book. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy" To: Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 5:39 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Admin.
