Tracy Until you get some answers, I wouldn't do any work on that book for obvious reasons. The original validator, probably not on this list, isn't likely even aware that the book got kicked back unless they happened to do a search for it on the Step 1 page. And I'd gander a guess most validators wouldn't. Even if they didn't find the book in the BookShare collection, assuming once again they checked, the validator would assume that all is well and that the book is tied up in administrative limbo awaiting final disposition. Once a volunteer co-ordinator is hired and has a chance to get his/her feet feet wet and acclimated, this whole issue of how notifications (or lack thereof) is handled should be raised. It serves no purpose just kicking books back without notifications distributed both to the validator and the original submitter who may be in the best position to offer clarification. Now, stepping off my soapbox <smile>!!
