Cindy,
I did read it, and I was able to follow the plot in spite of the problems
with the scan. Most of the errors were the type that you could figure out
what the characters should have been, but here and there the book was so
mangled that it was impossible to correct. As for cleaning it up before
approving it, I might still be trying to correct the book if I had tried to
correct all the scannos in that scan. All I did was delete the 28 or so
duplicated pages at the end of the file and check the copyright.
I already had the book on reserve from my library, but I thought I wouldn't
get it until September or October, so I decided to approve the Fair copy and
rescan it when I finally got the book. My thoughts were that it would
probably be a bestseller, and some people might be desperate enough to read
it in the condition it was in. As I said, I did read it with the impression
that I would hit a point early on where I would decide to stop and reject
it, but I was able to follow the plot all the way through, so I decided to
approve it with an explanation of the problem and a note that I would rescan
as soon as the book became available. In short, I left it up to Gustavo as
to whether or not he wanted to spend his time releasing the book in that
condition knowing that it would be rescanned in several months.
In other words, I also put the responsibility of rejecting Peter's book on
Gustavo's shoulders. <Grin>

Gerald,
I'm curious. Usually you carefully correct when you
validate. Why in this case did you accept and upload
and leave it fair? (Hmm--that sounds like one of the 4
questions asked at Passover). Did you not enjoy it
enough to read it? Shall we take that as sort or a
round-about review? (smile) Or is it that it is so
popular and had so many people who wanted it that you
thought it should get into the colleciton as quickly
as possible?
Cindy
