Jamie,
If you feel you can't do it, you can always release it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a little frustrated with a book I'm working on


Hi, all, I'm a little frustrated about a book I'm working on.  It's called 
who gets the drumstick, and it's a fantastic book that I've been wanting to 
read, and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  I'm frustrated because I was 
asked to rescan a book that I'm only the proofreader of.  I hope and pray I 
can do all the deleting of duplication of text and putting page numbers on 
separate lines that I have been asked to do.  I have no sighted help 
whatsoever and am totally blind and am wondering how I'm to accomplish this 
when after every page number there uninteligible characters--probably 
representing Roman numeral chapter headings and/or braille paging numbers or 
something.  I don't want to make the situation worse.  I had similar 
troubles with another book--a children's book called Little Prince 
know-it-all, and it still has yet to be added to the collection.  What is it 
that makes the page numbers not be on a separate line and need to be placed 
on a separate line?  I've not had to number pages in MicroSoft word in 
almost four years and am at a loss as to how to fix the mistakes.  Please 
advise as I want Shelley and myself to get the book ready for publishing 
into the collection for others to enjoy and I want us both to have credit 
for the work.  How am I supposed to get the rescanned book page into my 
corrected and/or proofread copy and why is it that some books have these 
page issues and some are placed and numbered clearly and properly?  Thanks 
for any and all suggestions and help as I want others to get access to this 
fantastic book.  It is truly a warm and delightful story of family life that 
should be a classic if it isn't already.
