Trying to get poems to look good can certainly be a challenge, so if you don't want to tackle them that's fine. Evidently the book was submitted in TXT format. That does probably mean that it does not have page breaks, but that isn't guaranteed. Some software holds page breaks in TXT files just fine. You can't see them in notepad, though, so you must use some other word processor. As you said, notepad is not a word processor, but there is no reason why you have to edit TXT files in notepad. You can just open th TXT file in some other program and immediately save it as an RTF before continuing.

I certainly don't ant tovalidate the book, but I would be willing to download it just to check for page breaks for you. Maybe there are page breaks betwwen poems that you can't see. That would make editing it much easier.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] everythings wrong with it



I just downloaded a book from the step 1 page and well, everything is wrong with it. The name of the book is "Return to the City of White Donkeys: Poems".
I don't want to insult the person that simited it but Notepad is not a word proseser. And that's only the begining of the problems.
Other then releasing it. Is there anything else I can do about this?
