And if the next copy isn't a drastic improvement, file another report.
Seriously.
I filed a book quality report and one of the outsourcing groups processed
the BSO. A BSO which was full of scannos and had bits of text
missing. So, I filed a second report.

Book quality report will be filed. Hopefully, it will be rescanned, or
reproofed, or something to make it more readable.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Comments on Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
I just finished reading Impulse by Ellen Hopkins, which was added to the
collection by an outsourcing group in Africa. This is one of the worst
outsourced scans I've seen. In fact, I wonder if anyone bothered to proof
it at all.
The book switched point of view often, and there was no indication of this
in the scan. Therefore, it was impossible to know which character was
speaking at any given time. In fact, due to the lack of headers, it was
impossible to determine how many narrators even existed.
I saw several very common scanning errors that could have been fixed, if
only the book had been read through. "hail" for "hall" is an example.
I really looked forward to reading this book, but was sorely disappointed
by the scan. It really does need to be redone, IMO.
