Hi Mayrie,
The copyright page is below. I don't mind my work being replaced. I was only
concerned for the person who took time to scan the book. However, he/she is
probably aware of the publisher and that a book may be replaced at a later time.
Thank you for looking into this matter for me.

Hi Chanelle,
First, "do not use" is only a warning. Any books that we add to the Bookshare
collection that are published by publishers on that list might be replaced if
that publisher ever releases an electronic copy of the book and gives it to
Bookshare. If you are bothered that your work might be released, I suggest not
working on books published by publishers on that list. If you are
uncomfortable, I suggest releasing the book, and not rejecting it, as someone
else might be perfectly comfortable with the possibility of having their book
replaced at some unknown date by the publisher.
I'll paste what I found out about ibooks Inc. They do appear to be a publisher
of printed, and not electronic books.
Ibooks, Inc.
Ibooks, the trade publishing house known for its extensive backlist titles in
science fiction, fantasy, history, popular culture, graphic novels, and
military nonfiction, brings new and solid titles to the marketplace.
Readers of notable authors such as Isaac Asimov, Roger Zelazny, Stan Lee, John
Betancourt, and Chris Beakey will enjoy new and familiar favorites as the
company develops its rich backlist while presenting a new generation of writers
to booksellers.
Milk & Cookies Press represents the children's imprint and features writers
such as the late Fritz Leiber and Cadecott Award winner David Wiesner for their
title "Gonna Roll the Bones".
Our website is...
www.bricktowerpress.com
It looks like your book is indeed a valid paperback. Barnes and Noble lists
one published by ibooks Inc.
I think you're safe to continue working on this book.
If you would like definite confirmation, please paste the text of the copyright
page in an e-mail either to the list, or to me privately, and I'll happily
research your exact book for you.
You may reach me privately at

Happy proofreading!
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] whether or not to reject a book based on publisher
Dear Volunteer list,
I found a book to proofread that is published by ibooks distributed by SIMON ft
SCHUSTER, INC. Simon Schuster is listed as one of the "do not use" publishers.
However, I did not see an imprint called ibooks. Pocket Books is also listed,
which is a "do not use" imprint. Originally, I thought that this was an ebook
until I looked up the ISBN and found that it corresponds with a paper back
edition. The book is entitled The Crossing by Howard Fast. What is somewhat
confusing is that a page in the front matter states that the book is an
original publication of ibooks, inc. It is copyrighted by Howard Fast with the
dates of 1971 and 1999. I am fairly certain that I should reject this book;
however, I don't want someone's work to be easily set aside until I am sure.
Chanelle
