Hi, all, I'm validating a very lizzie summer, a super Lizzie special by Lisa 
Papademetriou, and there are some strange dividing up of sylables.  What I mean 
is that the sylables are divided properly, but there are dashes in strange 
places like in the words having, contest, and other words.  These divided words 
occur in the title as well.  Should I leave these hyphens or dashes in there or 
take them out?  Also, in one word girl that is in quotes, the l in girl is 
capitalized.  Should I change it?  Also, there are some words that appear to be 
spelling errors-scanoes.  Would the person who scanned this book contact me at 
jdprater@xxxxxxxxxxxxx so we can get an accurate copy of this book validated?  
Or should I just leave as is and verify page breaks and send the book on 
through?  Most of the funny placement is on the preliminary pages but there's 
no table of contents.  I just am not used to seeing words split up with hyphens 
in the middle of lines like it is and want to do the right thing.  Thanks and 
have a blessed day and feel free to write me privately at the above email 
address.
