I rejected it 2 days ago, due to the many scannos and junk
characters in it. A rescan would probably be faster than
trying to fix all the errors.

Wisconsin: A Guide to Some Really Strange Places by Jerome
Pohlen
Hi, All.
I e-mailed Kelly privately that my library was arranging
a loan from a neighboring library for ODDBALL WISCONSIN
and that I would have it in about a week.
I just went to download it and can't find it anywhere,
even in
"Books in Process" and the Rejection Queue.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks,
Marilyn
