Gary and Evan, very helpful. I’m keeping a list for a “reasons to reject” file.
I guess I’ve been really lucky so far — all the scans I’ve worked on have been
terrific.

You can also reject if there are few or no page breaks.

You can reject for reasons such as the scanner wasn't at home, so to speak,
when they scanned the book--lots of scannos, lots of gibberish words
suggesting that the book wasn't being held flat at the time of scanning or
that the brightness wasn't set properly. I've seen books where the accuracy
was somewhere around the low 98s, but usually 99 and above is much more
typical. Of course the type of material changes things. I had one hardback
and one paperback which just wouldn't scan well at all no matter what I did.
Someone else here figured out a way to get good results with one and I
Finally had an idea which worked with the other.
