I agree that The Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley needs re-scanning as do many of her other books including The Mists of Avalon.
In the case of the following books by her the issue is " -" and "- " in the middle of words. Other than this the books are in good shape.
The Firebrand The Priestess of Avalon Darkover Landfall Hawk-Mistress The Gratitude of Kings The Ruins of Isis Heritage and Exile: The Heritage of Hastur/Sharra's Exile The Saga of the Renunciates (Darkover Omnibus)My point is this. If we are careful as validators, fewer of these kinds of errors get into the collection. I do hope the books now being approved do not need re-scanning in a couple of years. Perhaps the poorly scanned books are a symptom of earlier poorer scanning engines.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Theme: Finding Books To Scan for Bookshare Where do you get the books you scan for Bookshare? Do you buy them? Do you get them from your local public library?
