I guess I am a little insane. I actually use a spell checker on the books
which I am validating and do my best to bring them up to excellent quality.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] When to Reject!!


I am now validating a novel on which I have to decide whether the text is 
readable enough or not.  The book is all there, I can follow the story, 
but there are a lot of words scrambled and missing.  Where does one draw 
the line between accepting it as a fair book or canning it?
It has been sitting in the pool for a couple of months with no one 
touching it.  The book is scanned by a frequent contributor though this 
particular book doesn't come up to what has been done by this individual 
in the past.

I could easily return it to the pool; but this likely would place the book 
in limbo for who knows how long?

So, how poor does fair text have to be to be bad text?
