When I asked a similar question, I was directed to ask Carie.  I was asking out 
of curiosity and did not want to burden her with trivialities.

  Your confusion is probably due to the fact that Carrie oftten scans books 
that then are put on the step 1 page to be validated. I used to think she did 
these at home but apparently they are done in-office. However, these are not 
the N.Y. Times bestsellers. I would be interested to know where others get 
their information about new books other than the Washington Post Book World.

    I do remember, quite a while ago, someone saying that the NY Times Best 
Sellers needed to be done in house so they would be as close to perfect as 
possible. I do not remember who it was (Carrie, Lisa, Claire, it may have been 
long enough ago that it was Gustavo, I don't remember).

    I thought they just got scanned in house and went to step 1 for validation 
by regular volunteers. I didn't know they also got validated in house.
