I usually checked the books based on how the top of the page does, for
example I just submitted calder pride by Janet dailey but the left side of
the page had a lot of errors in the author's name and the page number, the
text of each page was perfect though. Based on that, I put good because of
the top of the pages but all the pages are there though. Now I am starting
the lucky series by Jackie Collins and ame doing Lady Boss and open book is
saying 5 5 instead of boss because I guess the s looks like a five in some
cages but the numbers of the pages atre showing up. If anyone can help me
get the rest of the lucky series, and the calder series, I would appreciate
it due to the fact I might be waiting on the rest of the series. I do have
THIS CALDER GRASS, I think.
