As a matter of fact, I recently did a quality report on a book that was designated as excellent on its metadata page. It was They Walked Like Men by Clifford D. Simak. Despite the excellent rating of the quality I found scanning errors on most every page. It was certainly not fair. Those are unreadable. I judged it to be good and I said that in my quality report. I think it was about a week or so later that I got an email informing me that it would be rescanned.

Go to the book in the collection that is not truly Excellent and click on the Book quality and make; I'm not positive what will happen; it may go back to the checkout queue as a BSO; but if no one takes it to proof and correct you can scan it and submit it as a replacement. Or perhaps a better thing would be for you to scan and submit it with a note in the comments that it's a replacement for one in the collection that is far from Excellent;

    disgust at the appearance of mislabeling.  I want to do what I can
    to upgrade as much of the collection as I can from the collection
    of books which I have.  My local library is very small and it
    would be better for me to use my own collection of books I have
    available to me.

        I don't know quite what you mean by when we upgraded; when
        books were rejected for being less than good? what is it you'd
        like to do, or have done; make a list of all books in the
        collection rated Fair or poor and have them put on the
        checkout  list as BSOs?   that sounds good to me I could take
        them as I have time and proof and improve them; (I have quite
        a few things to do first so it would take a while but it's the
        kind of project I'd like.

             But what I'd like
            to do at this point is to narrow down when we upgraded
            quality.  Does anyone
            remember when that was?  I had been using 2005.
            Thanks for the input and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
