Actually I think you can do a replacement submission three ways.
1. Download the book from the collection, edit it, and submit as a new book,
with a comment stating that it is a "replacement".
2. Scan a replacement copy of a book in the collection, usually in my case
if it takes more to edit than it does to rescan. Submit as a "new book" and
then note that it is a replacement.
3. Get the file from an administrator, repair, and upload, or as the
volunteer list calls it "kick the book to the download list".
I did method two on this book, and after scanning a book, I usually go
through on the Braillenote and edit the book removing junk characters,
repairing punctuation as I go, and fixing anything else that seems amiss.
But to do this, I have to at least like the book, or be interested in the
subject.
I almost always read my books before submitting them, except when I know
someone else wants to validate it.
I can't get into this book! Just like Flight from a Firing Wall, I just
can't read it, and it is well not my taste of books. So... I have a "raw
scan" and I am not to adept at using the Kurzweil tools, I keep telling
myself I shall learn, but haven't yet.
So I was wondering if anyone would take the "raw scan" and clean it up a
bit, remove junk characters and run a spell check and validate it.
As it is one of the "fair list" books.

Shelley,
I don't think I understand your question. Don't
replacement books go on the download-for-validation
list, or do they just go directly back into the
collection?
