Many scanners do check their work; others ... well ... don't. Cindy Lou Cindy Lou Ray.

Of course, they probably are not. I don't know who scanned this book, but I think it is rated "good." It is the now famous "A New Religious America." People, we gotta hold these books down so they can get up close and personal to the scanner. It was rated "good" I think, and for the first half it seemed better than that. But now I am to the part that has page after page of errors and errors. Luckily I have the book, but I'm having to constantly pit it against the copy I'm validating. I would reject it, but it has been up there for about two years already. I hope that when we are doing other things while scanning that we are mindful of the garbage that gets into these scans if we don't do it right. I am sure I'm preaching to the choir, but I sure feel better now. Cindy Lou Ray Cindy Lou Ray. Each day is a new adventure.
