Need sighted help proofreading a book Hi Mayrie, Well, actually, she does not need to send pages. If they need to be rescanned, for example, she could simply tell her sighted helper which pages she needs. Just something to think about.

This sharing of entire files is against our volunteer agreement with bookshare, and causes problems with the rules they have to follow regarding copyright infringement. So, just so you know, it's necessary to send only the pages in question, not the entire file of a book that you're working on for help. Sorry to be the fly in the ointment.

The person who submitted the book can't re-scan anything for me and the pagination is mixed up. Lynnsky took a short look at it and found the pagination weird. There's an inconsistency in pagination possibly from the third prefatory page to about page 11 in the printed text and it's bugging me. If somebody can write me back, I can and will send a copy of the original file and/or a copy of what I've done with it so far. I wish to continue proofreading this as I like the book. This format thing bugs me. I've done some stuff such as getting rid of smart quotes, etc. I don't know the 13-digit ISBN number for the book. I'd really like to work with somebody on this one. I should also say that the submitter stripped all headers. I changed the font to Times New Roman and I changed the color from blue to black. The original scan is in Tahoma.
