Hi, Carrie, thanks so very, very much for your prompt and informative response.
I completely understand why you had no choice but to reject the books. It's
too bad the book had so many issues but was marked excellent. This is
precisely why I don't tackle large pagination and formatting projects as I
wouldn't know what to do with them. I wish I had kept the rtf copy I deleted
after releasing the books so I could read it for myself, but I had messed up
one copy trying to fix it but I told MS Word not to save changes, but oh, well.
Thanks again very, very much for getting back to me so quickly and thoroughly
and enlightening me on this matter. Have an abundantly blessed day.

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!
Carrie

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.
