Thank you Carrie.

I know it is something small, but was quite a surprise, smile.

  Hi Shelley,

  I'll tell the person in charge of replacing books with quality issues to 
rephrase her withdrawal/rejection messages.

  Well, in the old site, we would receive a notice stating that our book with 
the number was replaced with a better quality one.  Which I would have been 
totally cool with smile.

  What was strange to me was that I got the standard rejection notice, no 
"replace" or "better quality" mentioned hence my curiosity and bafflement. But 
am glad better copies are available, smile.

  > The timing is a fluke, Shelley.  Smile.  I downloaded them to read about 
three weeks ago, and didn't even look at or know who scanned them.  Both were 
unreadable because of page after page of scannos and other problems, including 
having scanned as one long sentence without any paragraph or page breaks. I 
reported them using the book quality option, and apparently bookshare staff 
rescanned them and put new copies up when the new site came up.
