Hi Susan:
Depending on how much of a clean-up job your referring too, that book
probably should be rescanned instead of cleaned up. It will take less time
and be more accurate.
Again thats where lists such as the bookshare scanning page come in handy.
(I feel like am running an ad campaign for my site)
In that case,

has been accepted. Besides rescanning it, which I would prefer to leave to
someone else, if I find errors (it may be rated good or fair), and wish to
correct them, is there a way the book can be resubmitted again? If so, what
would the procedure be? Thanks in advance and hope this makes sense.
