The only way I know is to download it and do some spot checking. I suppose you
could do a ranked spelling and see what the percentage is, but that could be
misleading if there are a lot of proper names and special words, as SF and
Fantasy have. If a book is of poor quality, it won't take long to find out just
reading here and there around the book.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] BSO-ing
I'm going through my shelves preparing books to be donated to a local
library. I don't want to donate a book just to find out that I should have
bso-ed it. We all know that some books were called excellent when they aren't
by current standards. Is there a quick way to figure out if a book needs
bso-ing.
Thanks.
