Barbara, When they say they released a book, they mean they decided not to validate it and returned it to Step 1 to allow someone else to validate it. After a book is accepted, it's reviewed by an administrator to determine whether or not it can be added to the collection. It will then either be published (added to the collection), kicked back to Step 1 to have an issue resolved, or withdrawn because it's obvious that it should have been rejected in the first place. In your case, the book you validated was kicked back to Step 1 by Gustavo for copyright verification.

What should I do? Is this correct, after a book is validated, it is released? I am new to this. Barbara
