Welcome, both as a volunteer and to the list.

Yes. (smile). Find a book on the list that you think
you'd like to read, download it, and correct it as you
go. If you pick one that's rated Excellent or even,
possibly, good, there probably won't be many
corrections to make. The minimum to do is to make sure
the copyright page is present, make sure there are
page breaks and that there are no missing pages ( by
checking page numbers or checking that the first line
on one page continues the last line on the preceding
page), and run a spell check. Many, if not most, of
us, at least on this list, prefer to do more, but that
isn't required. We read the books and correct as we
go.
When you have finished the book you're working on, you
go to the Upload page and fill in the blanks, then
hit accept. BUT -- WARNING-- you do not have to
finish in the seven days allotted. When you download a
book, count six or seven days (no more than seven)
including that day and mark it on a calendar or note
it somewhere. If you haven't finished the book yet, go
to the Upload and Renew. (There are 3 choices --
Release, Renew and Accept).If you don't want to work
on that particular book either because it has too many
problems (in which case you can reject it) or because
you're not enjoying the book, you can Release it at
any time. The original that you downloaded, not the
copy that you've been fixing, is returned to the
download list.
