No, don't resubmit Breath, Eyes, Memory.
It's already on the bookshare site. I happened to see it almost as soon as
you uploaded it and so rejected it. I knew about the previous copy because
I validated it the other week. I'm sorry you went to the trouble of
scanning it just to have it rejected.
We really do need a more user-fiendly system for the wish list.
