Hi Scott,
It would help if the comments were a part of the book information instead of
being down below some other things. On the old site they were a part of the
book info. I know engineering would have to do this, but it would be
something they could think about. (smile)

Melissa and Gwen,
I agree. An impromptu meeting we had at Bookshare yesterday reminded the
great valuable short alerts about things like the difficulty of a book to
proof. Being able to easily contact the scanner is also very helpful. Good
practices, Melissa. Thanks

Gwen,
When I submit a book, I always put in my comments whether this will be an
easy proof or complicated one. I also try to include information in the
description as to whether it has strong language, descriptions of sex, or
violence. I think more submitters should do this, so proofers know what they
are in for. I always put my email in the comments, so the proofer can
contact with me with any problems.

I'm finding it hard to find anything to proofread partly because I'm so
picky *smile*
that is why I did some children's books because I love them, but I knew
there would be no surprises such as strong language violence and explicit
discriptions a person like me may have to give it up because I'll have
nothing to do and just go back to reading.
yeah there are numbers of books up there but if you don't know what doesn't
have these things or ones that have quirks that sighted people need to do
nothing against that,
but for me being totally blind, I'm just finding it more frustrating to even
find a book and yes I know that is just me so disregard this whiner you'd
call it.
If I'm not going to be interested in a book or have the fear of what I'll
run into in the book, well it just seems more and more the choices for me
are gone I have nothing to choose from,
cause there is something I can't do in it, it needs to be worked on by
someone smarter better than me or it's old and you can't and the list goes
on
some days I just get hit with the give ups!

Hi, if the outsourcers are no longer going to do cookbooks, who will?
