Sue, I think she means she'll send the print books if the proofers can't get
copies from their library

Hi Madeleine,
I thought we were not allowed to send each other copies of awhole book via
email. I gather that is what she means since she says she cannot send the books
themselves.

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
