I just received a notice that Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future by Mike 
Resnick had been accepted. The thing is, I submitted it about two hours ago.

The funny thing is, I almost turned it down. In looking at the history of this 
poor book it looked like it had been somewhere on the in processing list for 
quite some time, either being checked out or returnUed (how bout that word). 
But, since I had nothing earth shaking on my plate, I thought I'd work on it. I 
really did expect to have to do a lot of work on this book.

On my first look with Kurzweil, I was surprised to find that it had a 99% 
rating, and it took me about thirty minutes to get it up to 99.9%. Whoever 
scanned it, and unfortunately I don't remember who it was, you did a wonderful 
job, and thank you.

I guess my point is, we gripe a lot (actually, I gripe a lot) about the 
process, but, usually, it works so great it's astonishing. So, thanks to 
everyone involved in the process.

Who needs publisher quality books when we have a team here that does better 
than publisher quality work.

  I've taken over approving books from Claire.  As you can tell, our styles are 
quite different. I prefer to keep the queue down to a minimal size, so I check 
it several times a day.  You must have uploaded your book right when I was 
approving some other ones. Good timing!

  I wholeheartedly agree.

  Last Saturday I uploaded a book, and ten minutes later I found a notice of 
  acceptance in my inbox. I'm not only impressed, I'm super-impressed.
