I think that for a beginning scanner, rather than starting with short
books, it is better to start with a brand new book with very clear print and
which has not had time for the pages to be discolored with any age. Also it is
good to avoid anything with pictures or illustrations. That would exclude
most children's books. Doing that should give a very clean scan for the
beginner.

As a sighted volunteer, I can tell you that scanning is an art, and it
takes a while to perfect. Well, it is never perfect, but to get better and
better.
Just like proofreading, it is best to start with smaller, easier books that
are manageable so that you can learn from the areas you need to improve in.
Hang in there, and just keep seeking tips, education, and more than
anything, be patient with yourself. Everyone wins in the long run. :-)
Take care!

I just can't seem to get my books to come out right,
I can read them here and they sound fine I look at each page and it all
seems to go in order,
all I erase are the headers being very careful to not erase any numbers
whatsoever
but still their are pages missing
I can't see the missing pages from here
if the attachment can be sent gonna send it to Bob he has all of his
books approved because he is a pains takingly wonderful scanner and has been
putting
out excellent books for years.
I hate to give up, it goes against my grain
but I can't keep working myself this hard without the book being excepted
and right so after some thinking for the next couple of days,
and yes for me prayer,
you may be less one volunteer because I've been working like crazy and
thought I would have a load of stuff to help out you folks, but so far all I've
been
able to do is make a mess.
Thanks.
