Hi Jill,

        Oh, yes, it is wonderful to know that attention to detail can result
in a truly uneventful reading of a book.  Uneventful in that the story can
flow pleasingly along without suffering stutters and stumbles because of
scanning errors.  I love my conscientious validators!  And I hope they
appreciate the care that I take with my submissions.  It's a two-way street
and a good team is a true treasure, in my opinion!  

I'm glad the book was an easy read!

Mayrie

Mary, Congratulations to you and Ann. I didn't find a single mistake in Miss

Zukas and the Library Murders; it's nice to know that that kind of work can 
be produced, isn't it:? Jill
