I asked my wife to check the book today and she explained that while there were
no charts that she found, there were lines of text at the beginning of chapters
which looked bolded and script-like, as well as offset blocks of text every so
many pages (this last is my rephrasing). I have not bought or requested the
book pending admin status clarification.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Charts In Power To The People
Hi, Lori. I don't have the print book, so I don't know how many charts are in
it. I've been told that there are several, and that's what has me thinking that
I'd do a bad job with scanning the book. I don't mind taking on difficult scans
as long as I have some hope of doing a good job. That's why I wanted to get the
library book instead of buying it. Buying a book and finding it unscannable is
somehow worse than not having it at all. I know why sighted people use charts.
It makes sense to me. As a blind person who scans, I despise them because I
feel like I'm letting our readers down because I can't fix them. I have 3 books
in my not submitted folder of books in Kurzweil because the books contain
charts and graphs. I'm waiting on Christmas vacation to get some help from my
daughter in typing in the data before I can submit them. You know, because of
the perversity of life, it would be just the thing if Power To The People has
no charts at all and my information is wrong. Sort of like buying a lottery
ticket only to find that it expired last week and won't be entered into the
drawing.
