Hi again everyone,
Just a follow up to my post below: I just spoke with this volunteer and she is
happy to send sighted proofreaders copies of the books if they are interested
in proofing any of the ones listed but cannot obtain the books themselves.
Best,
Madeleine

Hi everyone,
I received this message from a scanning volunteer. Her scans are not in great
condition and she explains more below. If there are any sighted proofreaders
who are interested in the books below and could possibly get the books from
libraries (and she also may be able to ship them), please let me know!
Thanks,
Madeleine

Hi Madeleine,
Mayrie wrote me one email with recommendations of settings to change. For some
reason as I mentioned to you when I switch to two pages, it lets me scan 20
pages or so and then gives an error message. I don't know if you have any
sighted proofreaders who might want to get the books. The reason given for
rejection on one of them was too many junk characters in the front of the book,
but a sighted person with the book could fix that as well. Anyway, I didn't
want to clog up your system with other books that are not going to pass muster,
but I wanted to give you the additional titles I've scanned unless you have
someone interested who might want to try to work with them.
The past ones were:
Final Acts by Alex Abella
Look to the Lady by Margery Allingham
Vamped by Lucienne Diver
Mother Nature by Sarah Andrews
I also have:
Shamanism by Tom (can't remember his last name)
Murder in Scorpio by Martha Lawrence
The Tenth Saint by D.J. Niko
So, if you have someone who is interested, I can submit the books. I'm really
sorry it isn't working out easier, and I don't even know if re-installing the
program would help at this point. I don't know why the program seems to prefer
one method over another, and I haven't heard back from Mayrie after I responded
to her with the fact that the two-page thing results in an error sooner rather
than later.
Cheers,
--K
