Hi, All. I e-mailed Kelly privately that my library was arranging a loan from a neighboring library for ODDBALL WISCONSIN and that I would have it in about a week. I just went to download it and can't find it anywhere, even in "Books in Process" and the Rejection Queue. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks, Marilyn >>> On May 13, 2008, at 9:36 PM, Kelly Ford wrote:
Hi, This book is from 2001.I mostly mentioned the rejection here in case anyone was looking to read the book. Admitedly this was a rough scan and my point wasn't to revisit thedifferent text qualities.The book is likely of little interest to folks outside of those with someinterest in Wisconsin but for those it is somewhat interesting.

Is it new? Then they have to order it, and that takes some time. They have a book called ODDBALL OHIO: A GUIDE... just like yours, but obviously not yours, that's why I'm thinking yoursmight be new. Can you let me know? Giggling and Honored, MarilynOn May 13, 2008, at 6:36 PM, Marilyn Beasley wrote:Dear Judy S., "... like Grandma Cindy or Marilyn..." I am so TOTALLY HONORED to be in the same sentence as Grandma Cindy! Can you imagine me giggling with glee when I read that??? I will put your and Kelly's message in my Pending file and should be able to tackle that book (that is, if my library has it) around the end of next week.

I would like to read this book,but I didn't think I had the expertise to try validating it. It had many pages with text problems that I couldn't figure out, probably caused by photos or graphics, I'm guessing. So I do understand why it got rejected, and maybe this explanationwill help explain why someone rejected it? smile.

Overall the book scanned pretty well but some pages had photos sosome of the text is a bit choppy on those pages. The book was stillvery readable.
