Kim glad you have made a report. We all need to remember to do just that when a book is deffective! (smile!) I'm still waiting to the Simply Good Bread book to get fixed, too. One thing I keep forgetting or maybe it's laziness, too, is to report when books don't have categories associated with them. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kim Friedman Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 4:30 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Best cookbooks How many does Bookshare have Hi, sas a matter of fact, I did do a book quality report on this book I mentioned. I'm just warning anyone who downloads it. I don't know if my issue has been resolved or not so I'll have to take a look I guess.

From my experience, those reports are taken seriously and the issues do get fixed.
