Monica and Marilyn, I have the book. I am going through it after reading the
intro pages to see if any pages are missing, then will read through.
I will do a lot of work on it today. Took the evening off as yesterday was my
birthday--the big 60.
Looks like a very interesting book.

Hi, Monica. Hi, All.
I'd be perfectly happy to help with your book, Monica, but it's already off
Step 1.
If anybody needs help, my library has the book and if I can be of assistance,
write me at mbeasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Best wishes,
Marilyn

Hi, everybody. If any of you have time, I could really use some help with
validation of a book I just submitted. I did some really messy scans when I was
a new volunteer and had been promising myself I'd rescan them. So I just put up
a BSO of The DNA Of Relationships, by Gary Smalley and others. The movers are
coming for my print books soon, so I won't have access to this book after next
week. I've run rank spelling and fixed all obvious errors in the scan. It's at
99.95 percent accuracy. So a validater just needs to read it, remove headers if
desired, and make sure all pages are present. The pages have some blank lines
on them due to drawings, and Bookshare's tools can remove those so you don't
have to do those by hand. I deleted all garbled text associated with the
illustrations. I'd like to make sure this book is ok so Bookshare won't have to
buy it later as part of their plan to replace books that are rated fair or that
are really messed up. I'd be grateful to anyone who can take this on for me.
(smile) I've left comments about the book on its download page, and I still
have the print book right now if anything needs to be replaced. Thanks in
advance to anyone who will help.
