I think you can. That's why I always have to be careful when I put my stuff
up to explain that I need help with the breaks and provide the printed copy
of the book. My text is always clean, but I always need a sighted proofer
because of the issues with page breaks and numbers. But I've had non-sighted
proofers reject a book for that reason in the past.

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.
