I haven't submitted in several years, but back then, there was a default rating
of Fair, and it was up to submitters to change it. Some forgot or didn't
bother, and the book went into the collection that way--or the book sat on the
download list forever because it was rated Fair when it really wasn't. Of
course now bookshare doesn't accept Fair books, so I guess there must be some
way to tell, unless it's going by whatever the submitter says.
