Hi all.
Just out of curiosity, I'm curious to learn why books need to be rejected
if you can't find any copyright information even if they're otherwise good
scans and can be read easily. Isn't the point of Bookshare to have books
that are accessible that people wouldn't otherwise be able to get? This
being strictly my opinion and so no one gets too mad at me, I think the
important thing to consider is the book, not all the technical things about
copyright dates and so on. I could understand if the book had pages
missing or was totally unreadable, but to the general public who reads the
books in the collection, I don't know if a copyright date is going to
matter to them too much. This is just my two cents' worth, and I hope I
haven't offended or upset anyone by asking.

Cindy, I don't see the link now either. I thought I had seen it when I
started this thread. It was reading as a graphic, or at least JAWS was
telling me there was a graphic where that link usually is. Listening to
it more closely, I think the graphic actually is pointing to the area to
read reviews. I get the feeling that this book is one of those
self-published jobs or was put out by a very small publisher. I'm
wondering if it even has a copyright at all. The file I have has no
copyright notice. It has the author's name, the title, and then it starts
right away with the foreword. I had thought at first that the page with
the copyright holder's name and date just didn't scan properly. However,
there is no notice that says anything like "all rights reserved" and all
of that jazz. If I can't turn up a copyright on copyright.gov, and you
can't get it from Amazon or Barnes And Noble, Gustavo probably couldn't
verify it either and would bounce it back. :( Do you think I should
reject this book?
