First, did the download page for the book show a name for the submitter?
If it did maybe you could use that link to go to their info page where
there might be an E-mail address you could write to. It may be that the
submitter has a good copy of the book that they could resubmit. The mess
you describe sounds like a conversion problem,so the file before conversion
should be fine.
I would also recommend the book for immediate removal from the collection.
I am sure such a mess should not stay in the collection a minute longer
than necessary.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A book that should be on the fair list
Hi folks,
I just downloaded A Brief History of Time, the Updated and Expanded Tenth Aniversary Edition by Steven Hawking. It's desperately in need of a rescan. It's quite bizarre, actually--it looks as if somehow all the formatting and text and color markup got incorporated into the text of the book. That is, names of colors and various other formatting cues are scattered throughout the book. There's so much gibberish and junk it's virtually unreadable.
Anyway, could it be added to the fair list for some intrepid rescanner to rescue?
