Hi Valerie:
Thanks!
The book is:
Claiming His Christmas Bride
I believe that it is a British book.

  Hi, john!


  Is this a British book?  If so, no, they remain. That is how they are used in 
the UK.  However, if you find mismatches that are not within another quote, the 
answer is most likely yes.  A book I am working on often has beginning of 
paragraph open quotes often mis-scanned as a single quote, so those get changed.


  If uncertain, if there is a peek on Amazon or Google Books, someone might be 
able to check for you...

  Valerie

    The scanned book I'm proofing has apostrophes char-39 instead of quotes 
char-34. 
    Am I supposed to convert them?
