Hmm. Not sure what happened there Nan. I just checked the manual and the
"Books Must Be Complete" link takes me here. (Hope this helps):
Books Must Be Complete
For practical and legal reasons, Bookshare does not accept books which
are not complete.
The following material is required for a book to be considered complete:
Title/author page
Copyright page
Main text of the book
The following material is not required but should be included whenever
possible:
List of books written by the author(s)
Dedication
Acknowledgments
Table of Contents
Appendices
Glossaries
The following are examples of materials that are not required:
Book jacket
Book cover
Summaries of books for a book's series
Excerpts from upcoming or previous books written by the author(s)
Indices
Check to make sure that the book is complete. Some volunteers may
accidentally submit partial book scans, or individual chapters.
Proofreaders should at least scroll to the end of the book and ensure
that it ends with a complete sentence. While volunteers are not required
to check each book word by word, if any single page of required material
is found to be missing or garbled, then the book should be recommended
for rejection. If you include text from a book cover or book jacket,
please place it at the end of the scan. This will insure that the
additional material does not affect the book's page numbering.

I just clicked on "Books Must Be Complete" in the scanning and
proofreading manual and it leads back to a table of contents.. with
nothing titled thus. What constitutes "complete"?
