Don't bother with that one even if you do have a copy. Bookshare has already responded to the quality report with the promise to rescan it. I expect that they are already in the process of obtaining a copy and that it will be outsourced for proofreading. If you want to do some sf BSOs then take a look at this list of 338 science fiction and fantasy books in fair condition. My experience with Bookshare fair condition is that they are unreadable.

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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Cindy Rosenthal <mailto:grandcyn77@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Cc:* Gary Petraccaro <mailto:garyp130@xxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Saturday, November 23, 2013 8:46 PM *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Re: BSOs For The Last Time 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.

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.
