Actually, if memory serves, you can reject if a book has 90 percent or fewer of
its page breaks. Someone correct me if my memory isn’t serving.

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 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.
