OK, Bud, let's see if I can describe what happened: The step-1 page was full, and I know your scans, so I spellchecked, checked copyright, and checked pages every ten pages. That's basically what Bookshare recommends. Then, when I had all the credits I needed for next year's Bookshare, and wanted to read a book for relaxation, I took this book, because of its interesting title. In reading it, I found page 57 was a blank page, so the pagecount stayed right. So the incorrect version had gone to Bookshare already. The only way I know of to fix this is to resubmit, putting BSO in front of it, so that Gustavo and John know it's to replace an existing copy. I also made a few changes further along in the book. So, if you upload it I'll pick it up and validate. Does this make sense? If not, I'll use examples.

Thanks.

Mickey

-------------------------------------------
ABOUT BOOKSHARE.ORG
Books without Barriers

Bookshare.org is an online community that enables people in the United States with visual or other print disabilities to legally share scanned books.

Where do the digital books come from?
The Bookshare.org collection is built and shaped primarily by its community of members and supporters. By scanning a book to submit to the collection, a Bookshare.org member can provide all other members access to that book.


Who can access the books?
Copyrighted digital books are available only to U.S. residents who have a disability that affects print reading and have a current subscription. Organizations such as schools can sponsor access for their students through a School or Group Account.


A limited number of books are available to non-U.S. residents because of publisher permission. Visit this link on our website to find out more:
http://www.bookshare.org/web/AboutInternationalMembership.html


Why is Bookshare.org legal?
In general, it would be illegal to share or distribute copyrighted books. However, Bookshare.org takes advantage of a special exemption in U.S. copyright law that permits the reproduction of publications into specialized formats for the disabled. This project is possible under the law in the United States, as long as the copyrighted digital books are only available to people in the U.S. with bona fide disabilities and the nonprofits and schools that serve them. For more information, please visit our website at
http://www.bookshare.org/web/Legalities.html.


Who is providing Bookshare.org?
Bookshare.org is a project of the Benetech Initiative, a nonprofit organization. The Benetech team originally developed the Arkenstone reading systems, and is now using the power of technology to introduce new projects such as Bookshare.org - www.benetech.org.
