Dan, Don't know if this is a "general tip" for the other merit badge books, but I need some help with what to do. First, the book I'm validating, Computers, has no copyright page and no copyright date. I know it's copyrighted by the Boy Scouts of America, but don't know what date. I'm assuming this year but I don't know. If this has been covered, I'm sorry, but I'm just curious. A Lso, extra line breaks are in the books i.e. extra paragraph breaks. There's no double line to end a paragraph, so I can't just do a search and replace. The books therefore may, because of this, read choppily using speech and look weird in Braille. Has anyone else seen this and is this an issue? All the best and thanks for any help you can give.

We have discovered that these booklets are strange in some of their formatting. For example, most of the initial pages do not have page nmbers. However, the actual instructive content begins on the page relative to the begining of the paper pages. By this I mean that if the contents is on the 11th page of the booklet for example, then the instructive content starts on page 18. Pages prior to the contents are not generally numbered. Often the contents page is not numbered. Also, it appears that all of the booklets have some blank pages and some pages with nothing but illustrations on them. These pages are not numbered. However, the page numbering skips a number for these pages and continues on the next page number. As I said, sort of strange. I will post other tips here as they occur to us.
