I have just spellchecked the book.  There a few things which need someone to 
doublecheck me on and the images will take care of that.  Who should I clear a 
BSO with?  Does anyone know?
Btw, this is precisely the issue I'm talking about.  Technology has improved 
markedly since the original submit.

  As a matter of fact, I recently did a quality report on a book that was 
designated as excellent on its metadata page. It was They Walked Like Men by 
Clifford D. Simak. Despite the excellent rating of the quality I found scanning 
errors on most every page. It was certainly not fair. Those are unreadable. I 
judged it to be good and I said that in my quality report. I think it was about 
a week or so later that I got an email informing me that it would be rescanned.

can scan it and submit it as a replacement. Or perhaps a better thing would be 
for you to  scan and submit it with a note in the comments that it's a 
replacement for one in the collection that is far from Excellent;

      I have sorted all the "good" or "fair" books that I have copies and will

which are called excellent and which are not.  I have heard of these from a 
former subscriber who quit in disgust at the appearance of mislabeling.  I want 
to do what I can to upgrade as much of the collection as I can from the 
collection of books which I have.  My local library is very small and it would 
be better for me to use my own collection of books I have available to me.

        I don't know quite what you mean by when we upgraded; when books were 
rejected for being less than good? what is it you'd like to do, or have done; 
make a list of all books in the collection rated Fair or poor and have them put 
on the checkout  list as BSOs?   that sounds good to me I could take them as I 
have time and proof and improve them; (I have quite a few things to do first so 
it would take a while but it's the kind of project I'd like.

books from
          the "good" list.  I will get to those when I have time.  But what I'd 
like
          to do at this point is to narrow down when we upgraded quality.  Does 
anyone
          remember when that was?  I had been using 2005.
          Thanks for the input and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
