Carrie,  if you have access to a print copy at Bookshare,  why waste your 
time on this mangled etext copy?  Three minutes in the high-speed Canon 
scanner will generate a new image deck, and 20 minutes of unattended text 
recognition will generate a brand-new etext copy without dropped off words 
for you or someone else to validate at a lower cost and higher end 
quality.

Hi Rachel,

The book is at the Bookshare office, so I can get the book and clean up
the places where there are missing words.  Do you have a list of the pages
that need to be cleaned up?  If so, please send the list to me
(ckarnos@xxxxxxxxx) and I'll fix the pages.  I'd much rather spend some
time to make it legible than leave it as is.

Thanks, Carrie
