Hi, Cindy. I think the same way you do about covers, and that's why, in books I scan, the cover material is scanned first if
it will scan at all. A sighted reader sees the cover first and often reads the book jacket as one way of deciding if it's
something they want to read, so it stands to reason, at least to my way of thinking, that the cover material should be
first...but that's just me and certainly no official rule. <smile> Take care.

No, it doesn't matter. In fact, many people don't put in cover info. They start with the title page or, in the case of paperbacks, other front page material.
When I validate, I put "cover" in brackets and put the cover info. As sighted reader, I like to see the cover first, although some hardbound have the covers mssing. I know "you can't tell a book by it's cover," but still...and I figure, even though bookshare members download books and know what they're getting, they might like to read the cover info--but maybe that's just me. smile

Hi all. I have a quick question. When scanning
books, is the condition of the cover important? I'm looking at
some books with warn or rubbed covers. If necessary, I can get them
with better covers but I'm wondering if it matters. Carrie
would be scanning them with the high speed scanner and the spine would
be chopped anyway so I don't see that it would matter but I'm
interested in the best scanned copies possible.
