Many of us have done that from the beginning, but originally it wa not
required--and originally, when all that was required was to be sure all the
pages were present and the copyright info and title page were present,
proofreads only got 50 cents per book validated. That's why there are/were so
many books in the collection that now have to be redone. The idea when
bookshare started was to get books into the collection, as many as possible and
as quickly as possible. Now quality is what is important. smile
