Mickey,

I think you're having a senior moment here!
If you remember back, when Bookshare was in its initial beta phase, and trying to build its collection, with a great many books all we could look at was the front matter, a page or 2 at the beginning of the book, and another page or so at the end.
My, how things have changed, and yes, for the better.

Sure. But I'll do almost anything. After all, someone needs it or it wouldn't be there.

Originally, we validators were to check the number of pages every ten pages, to make sure none were omitted, to check for copyright information, to run a quick spellcheck. Some of us were not secure with this, and read the books. This has evolved into the norm, thank goodness. But at first, we were expected only to spotcheck.. I think that's where the problem comes in.

I'll be happy to do anything except fantassy. I know that many other people love that, so I stay away. I won't do math without the book. Otherwise, anything goes, because there's a need for everything.
