You can always correct the .html version of a book which exists on
bookshare and re-submit it putting BSO in the submission. Some of the
stuff on bookshare is shamefully messy. If you do not have time to fix up
a book, please comment with specifics including the book title on this list
so someone can fix it up.

Hi, Bud. You know, I've learned a lot from this list, too, and I think that's one of the many great things about it. We can't possibly experience everything there is out there ourselves, so it's nice to learn from what other people have experienced so when something like that does happen to us, we can draw on what others have said worked for them. I know I've raised my standards for my submissions just by reading what other people do, and not only that, but reading books from the site and thinking if I submitted that book, what could I have done to make it better? No, I don't analyze every book from Bookshare that I download that way, but when I do download a book that has consistent errors or things missing, I do think about that, so I think experience is the best teacher, but it's nice to have this list so we can learn from each others' experiences.

Thanks Julie,
I appreciate all your comments and I hope it will inspire others as well as myself to try to submit more usable material. It's too badd there isn't a list of directions and suggestions for beginners who are starting to submit books. I just sort of learned by belonging to this list and just using my common sense. I'll keep trying to improve the submissions so the validator won't have so much work.
