Hi, Cindy. That would be great, but I always download the BRF file, and I
can't submit that as a replacement or it would only replace the BRF file and
that wouldn't serve everyone's purpose. Take care.

Evan,
Don't you think the designation of Fair is a caveat as
to quality? smile
Evan and Julie, and anyone else--if you're reading a
book from the collection that's missing words or parts
of sentences or a page, if you'll let me know the book
and if I can get it from the library I'd be happy to
tell you what's missing. Then you can correct it and
when enjoy the complete book and even, when you've
finished reading it, submit it as an improved copy.
