How many credits do you need? I am sure there are a number of folks on this 
list with plenty of excess credits who would be glad to let you have some.

Jamie! 

Did you report this to staff? Because how in the world can you proof 
something in under 5 minutes? Okay I can understand if it's like a children's 
book
or like others have spoken on here the book only needs a simple cleaning up 
than I can see that happening. I mean only taking like a couple of minutes.
In fact I have yet to completely proof a book in this amount of time and I 
probably never will either. May I ask how long the book was that only took 4
minutes to proof? Because if it was like over 200-400 pages then that just 
makes me ill to think of it getting that type of treatment when readers are
depending on us to do a good job. Since I'm not a member yet, I can't go into 
the collection to find books that would need better proofing however if this
one does get approved than let me know and if you wouldn't mind putting a 
hold on it for me then I'll gladly reproof it for you. However that's just total
stupidity that we should have to reproof books however I'm willing to do it 
for those of you who need it done. The only thing is someone else would have
to download it then put it on the check out list for me due to not having a 
complete membership yet. However that's why I'm volunteering and working hard
to earn enough credits so I can have a membership and get in all the action 
here with the rest of you smiles! Well hopes this helps I mean my comments
here and I hope you're having a spectacular day despite dealing with the 
frustration of the jiffy proof readers ug! Take care and hopefully this mess 
will
clear up soon!

Yeah, that was the only reason I really decided a fake hold for wasn't 
necessary. I haven't ever had the other person grab a book and just check it 
back
in, but now I know better, I guess. Four minutes and eleven seconds is barely 
time to download and reupload a file if you ask me. I know I can't check
for all of the 202 pages in the book in that period of time let alone 
download it and upload it too. 

I still have many books on the planning to scan list if anybody wants to be 
the proofreader.
