David, I do the same and it's nice to know someone else does as well. Have a 
good weekend.

.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.

.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?
