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.

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
