Hi:

Sophie's World should be rescanned. There were complaints about it's poor quality last year. It's listed on the rescan list on Jake's page.
Can someone volunteer to rescan it?

John,

It would help a lot if, instead of just having the
note "ReturnNew" you posted what the problems were,
i.e., kn this case, missing pages and many errors.
That way the scanner could re-scan, or other people
would know whether they want to get the book and
validate it or not.

But I wonder if you are thinking of the same book.
earlier comments about the book include donedone,a
couple of "publish"s and a valid. All those seem to
imply acceptance. I think that's what's confusing E.
It would seem that maybe just something simple like a
copyright verification or something would be needed,
but I'm sue E is confused because none of those
comments specify why the book wasn't approved.

What is John Glass's returning of Sophie's World and the comments with it supposed to mean?

I do not understand these silly cryptic comments.
