Stop appologizing. It's this simple. It's easier to scan than correct--a lot easier. If I had the choice to clean or rescan, I'd rescan if the book weren't Over 99 percent. When I worked on Power to the People, my scan was over 99.4 without corrections. I didn't know that and wouldn't if I hadn't checked the ranked spelling list, but doing a careful scan does make things Much better. We all know that not all books make this possible. Where it is possible, though, it should be done. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich just illustrates this perfectly.

Sharon I am sending another message in case my first one about trying for 99 percent on rank spelling before submitting came across as abrupt. I only suggest going for a higher percentage before submitting so that a book is easy for a validator and therefore more likely to get into the collection faster.I was in a hurry when I first wrote and so did not include this explanation. Thank you for all you do.E. At 08:45 AM 11/23/2007, you wrote:Usually my books are about or over 98 percent rating after I fix the rankspelling errors, so they are usually excellent scans. In most cases, I read the books I'm really really interested in. It's just that I believe some ofthese really need to be in the collection. I wouldn't submit a book though with less than a 98 percent rating from Kurzweil.

Sometimes that works, but I know that Mine would come up with some quirky errors if I didn't read them, and I've seen them in some others. Please, Sharon, don't take this personally. Others have a different opinion I am sure. But if you really don't have time, then you really shouldn't do it. Of course, the little money off the membership fee makes a difference, I realize that, but if you don't have time, then scan less and take care of as much as you can. Of course, the headers are no big deal to my way of thinking, so if that would be the only issue, then I wouldn't take exception. I suspect since you posted this that is the case.
