Hi Corbett. Welcome to volunteering and the list. (smile) I'm glad you're
here. I would second what Mayrie said about handling poor scans. We have a
wide range of volunteers with differing standards for scanning. Some
volunteers carefully proofread their books before submitting. Those are the
easy books to work on as a proofreader. Unfortunately, some people just scan
a book and submit it without even looking to see if it scanned well. Others
do look at their scans but don't know how to make them better. These are
usually new volunteers. It's ok to reject a book if it has a lot of garbled
or missing words. It's equally ok to rescan pages if you like doing that and
have access to the book.
