  Hi,
  I'm a brand new proofreader for Bookshare.  My daughter depends on the 
service so I figured I would volunteer.


  My first book, Stoner McTavish, is very challenging.  I am used to scanned 
text so I anticipated some of the errors.  But it has so many missing words 
(and paragraphs) that I bought the book used because none of my 4 neighboring 
cities have it in their library.  It's taking me alot longer than the 2 weeks 
to do the work because I had to get the copy so I could fix the problems.  But 
I am determined to get this book into the Bookshare library.


  In the future, if a book has significant scanning problems - like entire 
pages of text are gobbly-goop - what should I do?


  Thanks for your advice,
  Corbett
