Hi Duane,
There is a place when submitting a book where you, as the submitter, can
leave comments for the person who will choose to proofread your book. The
first page that you see is the page that tells you about your books's
quality and offers you a place to type in the book's ISBN. The second page
is the page where you fill out title, author, copyright holder and date, and
the short and long synopsis. The third page is the page where you choose
book subject categories. And finally, the last page is the page on which
you can insert comments.
I think that's an accurate description anyway. In any case, you, as the
submitter, definitely do still have the option to leave comments for the
proofreader. If my directions as to where to find that option are not
perfect, please do keep looking. The option does exist.
Mayrie

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Hope I am subscribed now.
A week or so ago I submitted In Dialog with his Century the first volume of
the biography of Robert A. Heinlein by William H. Patterson.
Since they changed the upload books page there is no place for the scanner
to submit comments on the scanning of the book.
I regret this. I would like to interact with whom ever proofs the book.
Mostly concerning the notes.
The way the notes were placed in the book is to put a note number directly
after the punctuation mark so a sentence might read fencing. It was a sport
that relied on quickness and agility rather than
strength and bulk, and it suited him well, as he had extraordinarily fast
reflexes.25
In the scan not all the notes were picked up directly, the sentence might
have
read
. . him well, as he had extraordinarily fast reflexes.2(degree sign) I do
not
know how to make a degree sign rather then write out the words.
Anyway the degree sign usually, I think, was substituted for a zero but I
was
not confident enough in that to simply replace with a zero when I
encountered
the character.
For the casual reader this will not, of course, be much of a problem.
For the scholar you'd have to have two documents open and follow the notes
as
you read.
The notes are quite interesting in themselves however most of them are
references to letters, taped interviews, and the like. However there a good
many
references available online which one could chase down.
I still have the print copy.
Any questions? contact me on or off list.
Sincerely Yours:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims
may
be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than
under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes
sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us
for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the
approval of
their own conscience."
