I have a copy of that.  If nobody speaks up, I'll see what shape it's in.
If you find others, either send direct to me or please post here.  Especially 
if it's SF.
Thanks.
Thanks.

  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.

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;

      I have sorted all the "good" or "fair" books that I have copies and will 
scan and submit those.  What I'd like would be to scan and submit all the books 
which are called excellent and which are not.  I have heard of these from a 
former subscriber who quit in 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.

books from
          the "good" list.  I will get to those when I have time.  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.
