Thanks, Valerie.

I don't mind doing the work and I agree it would be an asset. I can do tables 
and wouldn't mind.

I'm mostly trying to figure out some baselines on things, since I've only been 
around a few months.

Cheers, Julie

We were going to work on it or re-scan it since the tables did not come across 
well.  It was something I committed to as a new volunteer and was overwhelmed, 
but should probably give it another shot when things settle down.  Amber sent 
me 
a copy of the book, but at the time, I did not know how to create tables.

If I rescan it, Doug could probably proof it or I could just scan the pages he 
needs redone.  I think it would be an asset to the collection, it is just a lot 
of work, regardless of how it is tackled...
