Gwen,I'm pretty sure that the book with too many pages was actually fine. When you check in a book that you've proofread, I don't believe that it is analyzed again for the number of pages. The number of pages is an edit box where you can enter the number of pages. Many time I have had to change this to reflect the actual number of pages in the book. So, for future reference, don't be worried if the number of pages isn't the same as the number in your file.I'm sure that some of the older books may be more complicated than some proofers can handle, but I'm also sure that some were overlooked and some people just weren't interested in proofing. There are several books on Shakespeare and Wordsworth, that have been up there for a long time, that I, and I'm sure others, are simply not interested in, but they may be perfectly good scans. I don't know. I'm also sure that there's someone who would be willing to take them, but may not have seen them.Melissa gwen tweedy wrote:I have tended to grab from the first pages as well, but I have looked at some of the other pages. I was afraid if they were still there after a long time, that they might be something I couldn't handle not knowing a lot yet. I had 3 books I had to release one had to many pages, I got the extra pages out OK because it was a repeat of the same book, but when I went to put it back up it still said the original number of pages, so I knew there was some kind of trouble that I could not fix. The other two had something about page breaks not being right, and I knew I'd screw those up, so had to let them go.----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Smith" <mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 6:25 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: The Book on the Checkout List the LongestI also released this book for that reason. I'm thinking that, when we release a book for a similar reason to this, perhaps we could send a note to the list, and bring it to the attention of someone who might be able to fix it.This discussion of how long books stay on the checkout list got me to thinking. I notice that many books are taken from the first page or 2 of results, and not the last pages. I wonder if more of the older books would be taken, if the sort order was reversed so that the older books appeared first. I know I've been guilty of taking the first book that looks interesting, instead of going through the whole list.Melissa Roger Loran Bailey wrote:I just decided to see which book has been on the checkout list the longest and it turns out that it is one that has been downloaded by a number of people including me. It is "The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous." It has been there for about two years now and it is actually ready for the collection except for one problem. There are several pages near the beginning of the book that contain a list of characters and a description of each. The problem is that the names do not match up with the descriptions. I remember that I released it because I could not tell which name belonged with which description and I could not quite tell where one description ended and another one began. It is likely that that is why others have released it too. I suspect that a sighted proofreader might be able to tell how to match them up or, if not, the problem pages might just need a rescanning. I thought I would just bring this to your attention so that maybe someone can take a look at it and perhaps get it moving on its long overdue way._ _ _"I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither white,black, brown nor red. When you are dealing with humanity as one family,there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being, or one human being living around and with another human being.... The worst form of a human being, I believe, isone who judges another human being by the color of his skin."
