Hi Kenneth,
I just got volume II and will scan it within the next couple of days. My computer has been down for a couple of days, so I might have missed some things about volume I. Is there anything anyone wants me to do with regard to that volume?

Ernie,
I'm glad you're a night owl--or should I say morning dove.
Kenneth said he's requested volume 2 of the same edition and will scan it, and I have the book--though I will probably at some point have to return it and then borrow it again--but that's no problem.
Keeping books in txt causes them to lose fonts like italics and also to lose hard page breaks. We are now able to upload txt books converted to rtf, so the best thing for you to do would be to convertyour txt file to rtf and keep it that way. (Aren't you glad you took this on and are learning so much about bookshare?) smile.
Please don't lose your wonderful sense of humor. With Guido gone from the list because he's too busy, we only have you and Pratik, and maybe occasionally Gustavo, to make us chuckle or lol--and some others occasionally, too, like Sue, I think.
Of course the mere name Guglamesh, with or without italics, makes me smile.

Cindy, et al,
This is my final statement on the Norton.
First of all, Cindy, thanks for the missing pages, and for the offer of help in the future.
I had rejected this book for what I thought were logical and legitimate reasons. Then, I was asked to re-submit the book and continue validating it.
Today on the list, I received some e-mails that per haps I mis-interpreted, but which deserve a reply.
I have not applied for any submission credits. to do so would have been dishonest, since whoever scanned the book deserves full credit for submitting it. As for 50 cents credit for validating over 2,000 pages, that's a damned insult, and I wouldn't accept it if it were offered to me. My time isn't that worthless. Either I'm doing this book out of a love of literature, or not at all. This amount for this much work is simply ridiculous, and not worth the trouble.
Gerald, I must address you directly, since you waited till after the book was re-submitted to make the statement that a rejection was not official until Gustavo approved it. You'd have been of much more help if you had said so before I went to the trouble of re-submitting it, and been so good as to tell me where to retrieve the file.
Cindy, again, I'm extremely grateful for your offer of continued help, for, I was going to say that I would validate the book with or without the missing pages, and let the chips fall where they may. However, thanks to your generosity, that has become a moot point.
By the way, Cindy, you're right, it does make one feel as though he (or she) is back in a college lit classroom.
Finally, if someone scans and submits vol. II of this edition, I'll be happy to work on it, since it then will be a matched set. Otherwise, someone else can validate the copy of a later edition, then hope that vol. I of that edition is done.
So, that's it, folks. Now, instead of wasting my time in fruitless discussion and veiled accusation, I am going to work on the book.
Again, Cindy, thanks for the pages. I shall paste them in, and continue from there.
Peace,
Ernie
Ps
Cindy,
The original file I have is in askiitxt format. If the rtf pages won't match, please send them to me in the matching format. Ernie
