E,
Your suggestion is a good one. It would be very
helpful
to know from validators who release books whatwas
wrong with the book. Some people post here on the
list, but not everyone does and it's easy to forget.
Also, how does one add to the Review of the book in
the collection? Is that only available to members who
download the book? And does anybody ever do it? Are
such reviews only visible to members about to download
and not to anybody who clicks on the title? I've never
seen a review on a book when I've clicked on the title
for info about the book.
