O.K., Rui ? Since no one seems to be validating Until
You, I was going to do it myself so it would get into
the collection (I think it has been on the download
list for a couple of weeks), but instead I hereby
announce the fact. I do validate carefully before
submitting, so the book should be an easy read. In
addition to reading books and validating before I
submit, I run a spell-check and double-check
pagination. This book, then, should be easy and quick
to validate. Be forewarned, though, that it is a
romance (the sequel to Rosamund) and has some specific
but delicately, i.e., euphemistically, written sex
scenes. Also, it?s set in the early 16th century and
unlike some so-called historical romances this has a
lot of detail about the mores, customs, clothing, food
and events of the time period and place (1513-1515)
Carrie, I was going to point out, until you did
yourself, that you?re sighted, and I think that makes
a big difference when scanning and validating things
like cookbooks or histories with dates, or graphs and
side notes, etc. I don?t know how many volunteers
there are who are sighted, but I don?t think there are
as many as there are members, at least not in this
discussion group, and I think, as you point out, there
are some books that, to be rated Excellent, need to be
validated by a sighted person, and it would be better
for such a person to do his/her own validating.
And I echo Mary. Please do the cookbooks that people
seem to want. I know from having helped people out in
the past that those fractional quantities don?t scan
well, and I?m not fond of validating cookbooks. I?ve
retired from cooking (grin).
