Does it have British spelling? If so, then the single quotes are probably
intentional. Even if it doesn't have British spelling, if it was printed in
England, the single quotes may be intentional. In all the books I've scanned,
or validated, I've never seen a consistent error like that, which leads me to
believe that it is likely that they are not an error.
I may be misremembering, but I seem to recall that you have an Optacon. If so,
it would be easy to check on something like that. If you don't, maybe you can
get someone who can see to check a couple of passages to see what the quotes
look like. There's no way I would make such a wholesale change like that
without checking very carefully in whatever way I could to see what is in the
book.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Single Quotations Throughout
Hi, Everyone,
I am editing a book which was submitted as an .ark file. Throughout the
file, single quotes are used rather than regular double quote marks (' rather
than "). Should I replace the single quotation marks with double quotes or
leave them. Since this occurs throughout the book, I am hesitant to make the
change, but maybe it should be done?
Thanks for thoughts.
