Honestly Bud, I could only wish all the books in the pool are as good as
your scan so please don't be too hard on yourself. Smile!
At least the book was a very good read, wasn't it?
Thanks.
Vic.

Hi Vic,
Thanks so much for your reply. I was getting an inferiority complex about
my work.I never take the time to see if a book is already in the list. I
read books as my wife brings them home from the library and then just send
them on to bookshare, so It's my own fault for not checking first. It's
not that much more trouble to prepare it and send it on after I've read it
so I don't mind. I guess I'll be positive after this and assume if it's
rejected it's because it's already in the files, and not to my poor
scanning and editing. I do some editing as I go so it will ghbe easier for
the validators.
Thanks again.
Bud
