Excellent for members; in fact, I have told some scanners (ones who have
proved their worth in the past but might not have time at a particular
moment to pre-proof) on occasion to feel free to submit raw scans ( with
a warning that it's a raw scan (and maybe they put a Hold for Cindy (or
maybe not, since as soon as they've told me they've submitted the book I've
taken it)
