Hi, Evan! Since I have heard both Gerald and Jake comment to the effect
that they are addressing this issue, I chose to stick with the issue at
hand, particularly given the amount of discussion about it last weekend.
<Smile> Take care!

No criticism intended, but I couldn't help wondering if the effort
expended consulting him about this issue might have been better employed
asking him to weigh in on the order in which books are approved. I believe
there's some meeting this week in which this will be brought up, if I'm not
mistaken, so perhaps this issue will be rectified very soon. But I would
imagine that a sentence from On High would make any other discussions
unnecessary.
And there is no controversy about this one. I haven't heard anyone come
out in favor of the current situation in which the most recent books are
approved first while books validated months ago languish in the queue.

Hi, Everyone! Here is a response from Jim Fruchterman regarding the
question of em-dashes. Sorry, I just realized that I forgot to send it over
last night. <Smile>

Thanks, Jana. I took a look at the digest from Saturday, and I assume
the answer is that we don't want to move away from the way the book was
printed: we have made a commitment to publishers and authors to work to
bring the scanned texts closer to the original. If we have a preference
from Braille readers to change our Duxbury output, I'd rather keep the focus
on that.
