Hi, Allison. When the comments field only says "Submit," that means no one else has ever validated that book. The comments fields show a history of what happens to a book, so it shows how many times a book was renewed and released, if the editing time expired, etc. If the book just says "submit," it has never been validated before, so go ahead and take it. Take care.

Sometimes, when I go to the download link where all the comments are, it looks as though that particular book has been downloaded, validated, and uploaded again various times. Sometimes it will say, returnnew, which I think means the book was just released back into the list without being validated. There are other times however where it will say something like, "action, submit." and then a person's name, but no comments. What's going on there? If it was submitted, why was it up there? Sometimes, this is said a couple different times by different people, so I'm confused. I have just avoided these books until now, but I wonder if I am just missing something. Have these books been accepted? Have they been validated? How do I know when there are no comments? Thanks, Allison H.
