That last suggestion sounds most promising. It also seems to me that there
should be some way to save one's work for the next validator when one gives up
on a book. After all, if a book is particularly difficult to validate it
might work better if a number of us took it a little bit at a time until the
whole job was complete. I hope Carrie will see this and respond to us and let
us
know if we may reject a book with a note to the administrator that it should
be returned to the download page with the work that has been done up until
that time saved. It is a shame that if a book is especially difficult to
validate that everyone who tries should have to start all over or else just
reject
it as a lost cause even if the cause is not entirely lost. In a message dated

It would be wonderful if the engineers could figure out a way to let
validators add comments when they release a book. As is is now, only the
submitter
can put in comments that go with the book to the download page. When the
validator rejects a book he/she can put comments in the comments section that
go
to the administrator who approves the books--but we can't indicate why we are
releasing it--what our problem is, like E's sidebars, that maybe someone else
can fix. We can post here, and that's how I find books that I can take and
fix--though at the moment I have my 5 and besides, I have no interest in a
culinary book. smile If no one has taken by 4th Godfather book by the time I
finish the books I have, I'll take it, though I have no idea when that will
be--and the one that Jim released because of the quotes sounds interesting to
me
from the title--though I have been sadly mistaken before. smile. But once I
agree to take a book I keep it, no matter
what. I've validated several books at which I've winced while validating,
and shook my head, and also one which almost made me physically ill at one
point--but it was edifying (definitely Adult and not in a titillating way).
Well, I guess those last comments are beside the point. Maybe the solution
for putting commments when we release books is to reject the book with a note
to Carrie in the comments section that we really want to release it for
someone else, either someone who has eyes or who wouldn't mind reading the
book,
and would she please out it back on the download list with such a note in the
comments section.
