Hi, Bud. I think they like for us to give a rating to our books to give
validators an idea of what they may be in for. *smile* Of course, sure, we
could be inaccurate, or we could say it was an excellent scan when it might
have been terrible, but I don't think most of us would do that. *smile* I
know, when I validate, I often look at the ratings on the book before
deciding if I really want to tackle it. Now, I really prefer submitting,
especially when it's something I want to read, anyway, but when I did
validate, that was a deciding factor for me, besides the submitter. Those
who usually submit really good books can usually be expected to put out
really good scans, while those who habitually submit fair scans tend to have
their submissions sit up there longer, waiting for a validator who has the
time to give the book enough attention to make it better, or the book just
gets rejected, or even worse sometimes, I think, makes it into the
collection almost unreadable sometimes. I don't think that's been happening
very often though lately, fortunately! Anyway, I hope my ramblings are
making sense. Take care.

Hi gang,
I just submitted Falling in Place by Ann Beattie. It scanned very
well and I think are very few corrections to be made. I wonder why
they leave it up to the submitter to say how good the book is. I'd
think that should be done by the validator after they have worked the
book over and then give it it's rating. We submitters can say
anything about it.
Anyway, happy validating.
