Hi Lissi,
We are not the only ones who have tried with Leprakauns. It had a long list of
would-be proofreaders. I hope that someday, it finds a home, so this
interesting book can join the collection.

Dear Lisa,
Yes, like you I struggled with Leprechauns. When I tried to fix the formatting
the pictures moved right on top of the text. I don’t know how to use a screen
reader to fix those kinds of visual situations so I released it back to the
check out page, too. I appreciate it that someone took the time to scan it, but
It looks to me as if in this case most of us can’t proofread it and if it is
rejected the scanner could get some tips and rescan it so it can be proofread
and approved. Though we don’t reject books at the drop of a hat, it’s sometimes
the right thing to do so new scanners can learn how to prepare their scans for
Bookshare. Misha, while you’re recuperating, are you in shape to mentor? The
volunteer community is in serious need of capable scanners. I know Evan’s not
the only one up to his ears in books to scan for eager proofreaders.
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi Friends,
I tried to proof Leprakauns. It sounded like a really good book. However, it
had no page breaks, had a bunch of pictures thrown in, and seemed to have a lot
else wrong with it. I guess I could have rejected it, but it seemed like a
really good book, and a sighted person with access to the print copy could
probably do it. I notice that it has been released several times. Has anyone
else struggled with it? Do we keep pictures in the book? I didn’t think so.
Those I could have deleted, but the book didn’t seem to have a single page
break.
Thanks,
Lisa
