Subject: [bksvol-discuss] at the Bookshare office
Funny story:
I'm at the Bookshare office, scanning books with the high-speed scanner.
After a book has been despined, I usually ruffle the left-hand side to see
if any of the pages are sticking together, in order to separate them before
going into the scanner. I ruffled one book, and noticed that it had been
shot thru its spine. Yes, there was a BB stuck in the book. I pulled out
the BB (which had torn a lot of pages of course) and thought I'd try to scan
the book anyway. The scanner was 1/4 of the way thru the book when another
BB fell out. Because the book was old and fragile and its pages were torn,
the scanner crumpled up several pages and tore a few pages in two. At this
point, I gave up trying to scan it at all. Between the messed up pages and
the torn pages, it would be a validation nightmare.
The name of the book? Ellery Queen's Poetic Justice. The irony is all too
blatant here :-)
