Hi Alyssa,

I'd file a book quality report, and in it tell Bookshare what you posted.
This book wasn't scanned or proofreader by volunteers. It was done by one of
Bookshare's outsourcers, Daproim Africa. Problems with it wouldn't get
corrected by volunteers but instead would get addressed by Bookshare staff.
Just a suggestion. smile.

Hi all.



I'm not looking at who scanned and proofed the subject book, but like some
of my other texts (less important tables there, so not giving names just
yet), the tables are done in a very odd fashion that makes reading them
impossible. I see AFB now has a TXT format available, so I bought it... But
this is a heads-up in case anyone wants to take on the daunting task of
correcting the tables or replacing the copy altogether. What AFB did with
their text copy is actually really nifty, and in textbooks with multiple
columns like this one seems to have in many of its tables, reading is
simple. I would be glad to forward the appendix in question so that it can
be compared to what is in the Bookshare file.



Thanks.
