Actually we can't even attempt to download our own books, it just won't let you, smile. Shelley L. Rhodes, VRT and Ludden Black Labrador Guide Dog Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985) ----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Castner To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 2:41 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: a question Hi, Traci, It's my understanding that if anyone other than a bookshare employee or an outsourcer attempts to proofread their own submission, they are unable to do so. I'm not sure if they are unable to checkout the book or to submit the checked out copy. I have no submissions to attempt to checkout.
