The preliminary pages are numbered in Arabic. I talked to
Rick today and he said some books do have Arabic numbers starting on the very
first page after the front cover. The body of the text starts on page 15. This
is the Partisan book. So, of course, I'll leave things as is. Never saw a book
like this (in my short career). (smile)

Hi Tim,
If the arabic numbers don't start on page one,
I'm assuming the book has Arabic numbering after the preliminary
pages, count the number of preliminary pages, and number them with lower
case Roman numerals. If you hav already got Roman numerals on some
preliminary pages from the scan, and there are too many pages to keep
accurate numbering in the preliminary pages, leave pages that come before Roman
numeral i unnumbered, using the Roman numerals that may have scanned as
accurate
markers of how pages should be numbered.
Does
that answer your question?
If
not, ask again and I'll give a clearer
explanation.
Mayrie

I got it!! I got it!! I got 'Partisan.' I did what Beverly said and
it popped up. I think one thing I did wrong was using the 'back' button to go
to
the old list and not re-clicking the 'check out a book' button (if that makes
any sense).
Problem already: The front matter starts with Arabic page 1 and the
body starts on page 15. What do I do?

Re: New proofreaders
Tim,
Did you try what Beverly did--Clicked the Adult content under "Preferences"
in "My Account"? Sometimes even if it says "no", it doesn't really take
the first time.
"Partisan" is still on the Check-out list this morning!
Good luck,
Pam

Re: New proofreaders
It wasn't on my list, either. The 48th book was by Robert
Heinlein.

Re: New proofreaders
Thank you for your kind reassurance, Mayrie. It's still not showing
up as a book I have checked out, but I'll keep checking into my account this
evening and tomorrow.
But I'm also still troubled by why neither Tim nor I could see this title
in the list to begin with, and why it didn't show up in a Search for either of
us. Even when Roger pointed it out as the 48th title from the top, it
wasn't there in my list.
My list of titles "Ready for Checkout" is currently showing 78. Does this
seem right?
(I've been following this forum in an attempt to be better educated in case
I ever do get approved to proof. Now I've learned my lesson about being TOO
curious, though.)
