Sure, it's possible she didn't see it. She only did a quick scan. I'll be
checking the book out to see how it does with the types of issues she did
notice and will get back with information. Still, if I'm not supposed to scan
the book, I don't want to waste time on it.

I was under the impression from something Laura Ingraham said about her book
that perhaps there was at least one chart in the book. Perhaps I misunderstood
or your wife just didn't see it. If in fact there are no charts that would
cause a problem, that is an excellent piece of news. Thanks.

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.

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.
