Let me add that if the book is in the checkout list it has not been rejected. Some proofreaders just release a book for whatever reason. Elizabeth Hobbbs has just checked in a book that I scanned over a year ago. One person after another has checked it out and then either released it or let it expire. I don't know why so many people lost interest in it, but I suspect that they did not want to deal with all the made up words throughout the entire book. It has not been rejected though.

Hi Alyssa,

Do you know about the “View book history” link? When you click on a title in 
the checkout list, it opens to the synopsis and “book details.” At the left 
side, there is a link to “View book history.” That’s where you will find out if 
a previous proofer’s work has been rejected, and for what reasons.

Not all books with a listed proofer have been rejected. Sometimes people lose 
interest, or run out of time, or release the book for another reason. But there 
will be no notes that come with the book, apart from those in the “book 
history.”

Hope that helps.
Beverly

Hi all.

I have never seen this before so wanted to ask in case someone here knows.

I was looking at the books needing to be proofed today and noticed that one
was proofed. I am guessing the proof was rejected based on the book quality
and figured whoever initially did it is no longer interested in fixing
whatever issues are in the book.

My question: If I check it out, will notes come along with it saying what
exactly was wrong with the book to have the proof rejected?

Thanks.
