Thank you for the kind words.
A History of Private Life had a long sojourn in step 1 and 2 land. I had
to manually add every single page break. I also had to put together the
sentences broken up by captioned things. Huge task. Cool book though. I
will never think of the Romans the same way again. I hear there is a
volume two of the history of private life though I forget what it
covers. Sounded interesting when I read a review of it though.
I know little about scanning really. I almost exclusively validate. I do
know that k1000 has been updated more recently than OB and that it has some
nifty tools for fixing up books. I also like the k1000 feature of optimize
scans where it scans a practice page and sets things up in the best
possible manner. I know people sometimes hand tweak those settings but the
tool itself is wonderful.
Scanned submissions improved dramatically in my opinion when version 8 with
optimize came out.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your validation help and your willingness to
help me learn how to get better scans. Your dedication makes Bookshare a
better place, and I think I sometimes forget to tell you
that. (smile) By the way,you did work on A History Of Private Life,
didn't you? I've been slowly reading that book and see that it must not
have been easy to validate. You did a good job with it.
