It was more just a question prompted by the fact that I didn't realize that I
didn't know we couldn't because, of course, the book would already be in the
collection (as I said, I wasn't thinking clearly. But I also thought, perhaps
erroneously that PQ books don't have the navigation factors and sometimes have
other problems. How could one add image descriptions to a PQ book? Could a
sighted member download the book and add the description and then upload it?
just curious.

seventh one called crucible of gold in that series. Either somebody here will
need to scan it or contact the publisher for it it should be
possible.

>>>Hi,
If somebody was interested in doing this it might be helpful. I just recently
downloaded the copies of Naomi Novik's Temeraire adventures series. There is
something I noticed in book one and I know it is true in the first one and I'm
not sure but I can check the others. That one seems to only have section breaks
and no page breaks as well as some very clear spelling errors. I'll check the
others but I'm wondering. If someone still has the copies of these books could
they rescan them and put them up for proofreading? I would like to see if we
can't improve the quality.
Thanks to all and let me know what you guys think,
