Mike,
It may be that the submitter or the validator did some extensive work on the
text prior to the submission. Or your suspicion may be correct. Unless it
looks to have some definite information regarding the source it's difficult
to tell. You can do a basic Google search to find the author and the title,
it can often give you the answer about the book. There are existing book
sources on the net, and google will ferrit out them for you.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] If text is too good
I'm right now working on validating a book that almost seems too perfect
leading me to question whether the submission might be an etext from
somewhere else.
It's definitely not webb-Braille or another blindness group; but
formatting seems perfect and I am not coming up with spelling errors.
I certainly don't want to erroneously intimate that something wasn't
scanned; so what might be some ways of seeking to verify the authenticity
of a submission without outright questioning the submitter?
Or should I just validate the book indicating my concerns in the comment
field and let Palo Alto decide for themselves.
