Hi, Sue. There's already a copy of this book in the collection? Or is this 
another copy on the downloads page? If there's already a copy in the 
collection, when you upload the book put in the comments field for the admin 
that it's a better-quality book to replace the one rated "good." Otherwise, 
it might get rejected as a duplicate. If you're talking about the book 
that's on the Downloads page, download that one yourself and reject it, if 
you're sure it's the same book. There's no reason to take the chance that a 
poorer-quality book might make it into the collection when there's an 
excellent-rated book to take its place. Take care.

Hi Guido,
You sent me some valuable info in thiis note and it makes me glad I haven't
tampered with page numbers.  Funny thing is, there seem to be two copies of
this book, Tudor England.  One of them says good, many errors but legible
throughout, and the other says excellent, hardly any errors.  The one that
has a lot oof errors says that I submitted it for download, and that I
returned it on 8-14.  I wasn't even a member then.  <grin>  The other was
Kenneth's excellent rating file.  So go figure.  <lol>  I am wondering if
there is another Sue Stevens.

Sue,  I agree with Kenneth.  If you have been able to determine that all
pages are there,  page numbers are not necessary.  Page numbers are
typically left in the book by submitters to assist the validator in
ensuring that there are no pages missing nor there are duplicates.  Once
the determination is complete,  page numbers can be removed.

My personal preference is to leave page numbers in the book and just to
clean up or remove the rest of page headers.  But that is personal
preference.  A clean page header should appear as the very first line in a
page,  it should contain no misspellings or junk characters, and should be
followed by a blank line.  If the book had page footers instead,  let the
footer be the very bottom line in the page, and let the previous line be
blank.
Page headers and footers will be stripped by the automated Bookshare
stripping tool,  but will be retained in an archival copy to be used in
future enhanced versions of Bookshare Daisy books.

Regards,

Guido

In my opinion it should be submitted.  There are a lot of books on the
System that do not have page numbers which correspond to the actual
contents
page.  Again, thanks.
