Dear Tracy,

I, too, am very sorry this happened to you.  If I could just give one tiny 
piece of advice that Carrie K. gave me, and this doesn't apply to everyone, but 
if you are submitting or proofreading a book with images, and you describe at 
least some of the images, then you can submit the book as "[Book's Title] (with 
picture descriptions)."  The PQ books never have picture (or "illustration") 
descriptions, so your book won't be replaced.  They may add the PQ book to be 
there ALONG WITH your submission, but they won't delete the one you submitted.  
I wish you the very best of luck, Tracy.

Marilyn
