I did not validate it. I scanned and submitted it.
And yes, It is a novel. Written in first person, it sounds like a memoir,
but it is a work of fiction. It was one of the Oprah list books back in
late 1990's. I found a bunch about it and even an interview with Schlink
online just Googling around.
And I did put Janeway's name in credit with translator in ().
I think I also put that copyright page in the bookshare coment section to
explain it in case it came up again.
I have yet to try to get my first validation attempt.
I still have a couple more books to scan, and then I will venture forth.
There are a number of books in step 1 of .ark files. I will try and start
there. I have to re-read the list of validating instructions again. I'm
sure once I get it all straight in my head it won't be quite so daunting.
Thanks.
Rik

It sounds interesting. From the title I thought it was
*a* reader, i.e., a compilation of stories like one gets in school. Is this
a novel about a person who likes to read? It begins to sound somewhat
familiar.
But--if you validated it before, and it was only rejected because of the
copyright info, you should download it yourself and re-upload your validated
copy with the correct info in the copyright section. It looks to me as if
Carol Janeway holds the copyright for this edition and the date would be
1997. You can include your copy of the page in the Comments section.
Otherwise someone else will be validateing the original and not the one you
already validated.
Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding the situation. smile
