Some of those errors, like die for the, me for the wouldn't be caught by a
spell check, but only by reading (and, though it isn't one you've come
across,you've come across, thigh for though,or sigh for sight. smile
Definitely reject it and don't be sad about it. The only way people will learn
to be more careful is if their books aren't accepted. smile

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
