Hello Rita,
I don't think we have run into this situation yet. Since we are still working
to create .brf files for the publisher quality books, we wouldn't replace an
existing book at this time.
In the future, we probably will replace existing books with publisher quality
copies, as they will be letter perfect, i.e. they won't have any errors in them.

What happensif a publisher donates a book that is already on the bookshare
site? Does the publisher quality book replace it or is it left alone if it is
already marked excellent.
