Roger,
I think it depends. Currently, I am working on a BSO of Heritage And
Exile by Marion Zimmer Bradley. When I originally purchased the book,
it was not available in the collection, or at least, not that I could
find at the time. Since then, a copy became available. So, when I
saw that the book was riddled with errors, I decided it would be
simpler to simply rescan since I have a copy on hand.
However, if you do not have a copy on hand, I do indeed believe a
quality report is the best solution. It seems as though it would be
cheaper to report it than to buy if you haven't already.
Just my humble oppinion,
Courtney
