I don't want the book pulled from the collection, just fixed. Someone did a
lot of good work.
It's just that something happened along the way. Maybe you can send this where
it needs to go?
There are a lot of pages missing in that download. I think that if the scan is
rated excelent, all the pages should be there, in order, and no loops in the
thext.
