Hi Lynn,
I feel for you. Have you thought of running a spell check before
reading? That way, you might not have to correct so many errors, or is that
what you're doing?
If it's taken you this long, even trying to do the spell check, I'd
reject the book. The errors that you are talking about could very likely be
fixed with a rescan with scanning settings adjusted for that book.
Just my thoughts. Sorry if you thought of all that already.
Mayrie

Hi everyone!
I'm not one to complain, most of you know that, but I'm proofreading a
submission that has many ... and I do mean many, scanning errors. Many of
these could have been caught with a simple spell check.
I'm not trying to shirk my responsibilities as a proofreader, but it's taken
me three hours to read and correct 38 pages, and the corrections are almost
all scanning errors such as die for the, me for the, thiis for this, thights
for thoughts...
I've never rejected a book for a scan quality issue, and I hope I never have
to do so.
There now, I feel better.
Blessings.
Lynnsky
