I, like Lissie, am also a little cornfused regarding the Publisher Quality books. <smiles>
I noticed when I uploaded a book yesterday that Publisher Quality was listed along with Good, Fair, and Excellent text quality. I don't remember seeing that the last time I uploaded.
Unless I missed something, I thought the publisher quality books came directly from the publisher and were validated and uploaded by Bookshare staff? Is this not how it works?
How would I as a regular Bookshare volunteer searching on Step 1 recognize a Publisher Quality book? Who would I contact if I had questions about the content, assuming OCR issues take place with these books?
Could someone from Bookshare either give the list an explanation of the logistics of validating and uploading the publisher quality books or point me to where I can find the information?
Thanks in advance. Lisa----- Original Message ----- From: "Estelnalissi" <airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear Bob, Why can't you read the publisher quality books?I checked on 2 of them tonight and both were available in daisy and BRF formats. One was scanned by one of the volunteers we know well. I'm actually confused about these books. It appears as if we can download them as usual and that not all are of excellent quality. I'm not sure how they differ from our regular volunteer and staff submissions and validations except they, unfortunately, don't have short synopses.Always with love, Lissi
