I'll keep that in mind. I'll do anything from your list, or BS's list,
depending on whether I already have it in the collection. If they do outsorce
it, then that will trump my sub and they wouldn't take it.
Regardless, it was fun and I did enjoy the book. The unusual thing to me is
the Lorelard (sp) add smack dab in the middle of the book. 1962 edition.
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was one of our best.

I don't suppose you clear a BSO with anyone. Just submit it with BSO followed
by a colon in the title field before the title.

I have just spellchecked the book. There a few things which need someone
to doublecheck me on and the images will take care of that. Who should I clear
a BSO with? Does anyone know?
Btw, this is precisely the issue I'm talking about. Technology has
improved markedly since the original submit.

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;

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.

Does anyone
remember when that was? I had been using 2005.
Thanks for the input and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
