Well, if it helps any, they might not all have been replaced by PQ books. Recently I had a book rejected for already being in the collection as PQ when there was only an old not so good copy there when I scanned it. Lo and behold a couple weeks after the rejection Madeleine sent an email saying she doesn't know how the book got relabled PQ, the copy on bookshare was still the old not so good copy and she put it back into the download queue.

Hi. I had the same thing happen to me. The proofer was working on my book and a PQ copy was added. I wouldn't mind so much except neither of us will get credit even though we both spent time on it. Sorry, I don't have any tips on how to avoid this in the future. I'd e-mail the volunteer address and tell them about the first word in each chapter for your book.

My submission of Man of Constant Sorrow: My Life and Times by Ralph Stanley and Eddie Dean, published in 2009. Dang it if I didn't have some bad luck. I had been wanting to read this, I had been watching for it on Bookshare. I get a friend to loan me his copy, and last week I check the Bookshare collection just before I start to scan it. I submitted it on Sunday. It was downloaded for proofing on Monday. And it was rejected on Tuesday. What? Sure enough, the proofreader replies to my email query, the reason was it was already in the collection. It had been added on April 23! Ain't that just like a sad and lonesome old song? Anyhow, not to whine all too sorrowful. Any suggestions what I can improve so as not to have more rejection anxiety? But .... Here is also what I wanted to mention. My scan had a fix in it that the copy of this book now in the Bookshare collection that I just downloaded does NOT. At the beginning of the text in EACH chapter, the enlarged font of the first word in the paragraph is separated from that first word. Example from Chapter Seven.... W e were really on a roll.We had a My submission from my scan fixed that. Maybe it does not matter that much. But as a reader of many books, and a long time big lover and believer in Bookshare, I want to pass along that. And ask that it me not so currently an accepted practice in these publisher supplied books. I'll try to avoid being rejected. I'll keep on scanning. But wow, my 14-15 hours last week, well I have a copy of my own to read anyhow. Thanks.
