Hi Cindy, If you've already got the book and have begun work on it, and are interested in proofreading the book, please, go ahead with it! Our main goal is always to grow the Bookshare collection with excellent or better quality books! No need for a book to sit around awaiting a proofreader when someone is already interested in it! Carry on and happy proofreading!

I'll leave them for newbies in the future, unless they've been on the list for a long time. In fact, I'll release the one I took. (It's 846 pages. That should give someone plenty of practice (smile). It was submitted Aug.2011. That's less than a year ago--not too long. (The title is BTC Celestal Harmonies and it sounds very interesting.

They are intended for new volunteers who haven't learned these things yet.

As I understand it these books were put on the checkout list especially for new volunteers and had errors deliberately introduced into them to provide practice.

I think I asked before but forgot. I do seem to remember that it didn't mean that it was saved for anyone. I clicked on a title that had BTC and saw that it was submitted by Rick Costa. Once before I proofed a book he'd submitted, thinking that, since he was an employee, it would be near perfect., but I had a lot of work to do. (I like to have a lot of work to do;so I've taken the book, Celestial harmonies. It's a thick book and so ill take a long time, but it sounds interesting: about the Esterhazy family. Gail, if you want me to get the print book you're working on and provide missing words or sentences let me know.

He is no longer available for contact. Perhaps you could write to me off list elaborating on your problems and I can find someone to help you. Please include in your note the title, author, and ISBN of the book that you're working on. I'm happy to help if I can. Another option is to give title, author, and ISBN of the book you're working on to this list of wonderful volunteers, and listing here what the problems you're encountering here are and someone might be able to either peek at the book on Amazon, or acquire a copy from their local library to help you. Hope this helps a bit.
