Hi, Jamie,
I rejected one of the books, and the errors were not at all minor. As I
recall, as well as no page breaks, the book had many broken words with dashes
in the middle and many inappropriate paragraph breaks.
I'm letting you know this because as I recall you felt that your experience
level made it difficult for you to proofread the book. Your experience level
was not at all the problem.
I seldom reject books and will make a concerted effort to correct errors.
However, in this case, I knew that a rescan would take less time than
correcting all the problems and determining many of the page breaks would be
guess work at best. I realized clearly why rejections sometimes have to occur.
I hope the scanner will ask for assistance.
Lori C.

Hi Jamie,
One of the books by Yeomans was rejected because there were no page breaks. A
rescan was requested. Another Yeomans book was rejected because every line was
its own paragraph. A rescan was requested. The third was rejected because it
was a duplicate of the first book. The person has also submitted books that
start with Chapter 1 and are missing all front matter. We've suggested reading
the online manual, or getting a scanning mentor, but as far as I know, the
submitter hasn't contacted any of us for help or clarification about what's
required for a book to be submitted. Not much else we can do!

Hi, all, I posted a message on the vookshare volunteer list last night.
Several weeks ago, somebody graciously submitted three books by Lilian B.
Yeomans, M.D., and one book by Lester Sumrall that I wanted to do but couldn't
because of minor formatting issues and pagination problems--needed minor page
number help but I'm not skilled in this and had to release all four books. I
thought one person had downloaded some of them, but now, I cannot find them
anywhere on the site. They're not in the proofread/checkout list anywhere;
they are not on the in process or the awaiting approval list or the books in
process list. Could a book just disappear or did someone take them off the
site for some reason? Nobody so far has been able to help me find the books so
I could check on their progress. As far as words go, they were clean scans,
they just needed slightly more format help and pagination changes than I feel
capable of. I really wanted these books in the collection and am starting to
get worried as to what's happened to them. Thanks for any help and have a
blessed day.
