"BTC" is our in-house shorthand meaning "books that have gone through our
batchecizer."
Yes, we do love to make up entertaining new words. We're book people after all.
The batchecizer is a simple bit of automation used after scanning to
standardize the books we provide to new volunteers. It strips out some typical
format scannos so that new volunteers are not faced with them. We reserve them
for new volunteers. A new volunteer is anyone who has yet to successfully
complete three scans or proofs. So BTC books is where new volunteers get their
first three books if they are going to be proofreaders.

Hi all,
I have been seeing books with the prefix BTC and then a number. They seem to
be from Rick Costa. Are they for specific volunteers he is training? I just
wondered if anyone could take them? I don’t want to take a book that is being
held for someone else.
Thanks,
Sue S.
