I too have no qualms if they cannot be fixed. I am suggesting something
quite different fromPamela editing her scans in any way. I am suggesting
she use, for instance, the paperback settings just posted to this
list. Then her books would validate more easily. I reject any with cut
off lines. She has improved in this area. I think perhaps Louise or
someone can set her up with a technique which will make the kinds of books
she scans come out better.

E,
She knows this. I recall seeing a message last year posted by her good friend Louise saying that when they talked, this submitter said she did not have time to proof her scans. And louise said that if the submitter was ever mentioned by name again, she, Louise was "outta here". And since Cindy has sent several forwards from her to the list, she must not be on it anymore. Since the submitter does know, I, for one, have no qualms regarding rejecting these poorly scanned books if I see they cannot be fixed without rescanning.

Actually I had to do quite a lot of work with Kurzweil to bring her poorly rated book to excellent. The space and hypen in words and some improved scanning settings could mean her books could become easy validations instead of rejections and books requiring much work for a validator to fix up.
Perhaps pride in her work will help.
Improvement does seem to be occurring though, as I said, her settings need tweaking.
