Mike,
Thanks for the easy validation. I just validated the book in question and, if 
Ms. Stein is on this list, I'd like to publically thank her for the outstanding 
submission and could only wish that all the books were of this quality. 
I'd just like to ask, whatever happened to the principle of innocent until 
proven guilty? That book had the copyright info. It had all the front matter, 
including the bit about not copying unless authorized blah blha blah.  If 
I were the person who spent a bunch of time on this book getting it into such 
good shape, I'd be really ticked at somebody coming along and questioning my 
integrity. If the book meets all the requirements for 
validation, and you don't see any obvious indications that it was an e-text, 
such as might appear in the front matter for the book and didn't in this case, 
then why question it?  
Mary
