Hi, Lori. Actually, removing headers isn't a requirement of book validation.
Some of us choose to do it for ease of reading. So even now, books are added
with headers intact. The stripper does help with some of that, though it's
not perfect. The automatic stripper that handles headers has been around for
about 4 years. It's being rewritten to make it more flexible and accurate.
Hope this helps.

Hi, everyone,
I have a question about the history of bookshare, sort of.
When did validators begin to remove headers from books? I have recently
read two books from the collection that had a header on every page--the
chapter title or author's name on one page, the book title on the other.
Since these headers were consistant throughout the book, I assume that the
books entered the collection before the idea of removing headers took
effect.
