I don't have an exact figure, but most books don't get kicked back to Step 
1.

  Then, does the staff put many books back?

    No, you are correct. Rejecting a book removes it from Step 1. It can get 
back on Step 1 if someone from the staff thinks the rejection is wrong for 
some reason, but this doesn't usually happen.

      Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't rejecting a book remove it from the 
step one page?  If not, how does that happen?
      Thanks.

        But that doesn't help us who are looking for a book to validate and 
trying
        to avoid the poor submitters. I think E's idea is wonderful and 
hopefully
        the benefit would be that when poor submitters' books stayed on the 
step 1
        list for a long time, said submitter would get the idea that unless 
he
        submits better scans, his books aren't going to be validated.
