Hi Ann.
Good observation.
I think proof reading for formatting errors etc. is a great idea. Probably
one would not need to format for spelling errors as any errors are the fault
of the publisher/author, which we are supposed to leave in anyway.
Thanks.
Bob

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] PQ books and page numbering
Hi all,
As reported earlier, the Writers' Market is lacking page breaks.
Apparently there are thirty-four chapters and an unknown number of pages,
probably something like 600. However the Book Information page lists 34
as the number of pages. This is rediculous! I know that this is not an
isolated issue. I've encountered a couple of other PQ books that have
this same problem. I recommend that when PQ books are queued for the
collection, *somebody* not a machine, but some human person, actually
checks the number of pages in the book. Just because they're PQ does not
mean that they are error free. They may be scan perfect in the text, but
if the page numbering is that far off, then they are not acceptable for
Bookshare!
Maybe the PQ books need to be proofed just like the volunteer scans?
Ann P.
