Hi, Valerie, in the paragraphs giving instructions, are there numbered
steps or are there little tags like: Adding Wet Ingredients: Frying the
chicken: that sort of thing? The red dots wouldn't mean anything to me
but numbered steps would provided they're in the printed text. Regards,
Kim Friedman.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Cookbook question


I am proof reading Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution from an off list
volunteer and have a question.  It appears to be an exceptional scan,
especially for a cookbook.  I think the scanner is totally blind, but
she did something amazing, if so, that I think is very helpful, but
different from the print.  In the print, the directions are in a
paragraph with red dots between each direction, upwards to ten or more
in a paragraph.  Anyway, it appears at least as far as I have looked,
that she put a paragraph break in place of each dot, making it more
readable.  I am highly inclined to retain that since it is visually MUCH
easier to follow.  If I do, though, how to indicate the print
paragraphs, a single asterisk?

Also, there are tons of gorgeous pictures, but will everyone be
heartbroken if I stick to the cookbook part since it is like 372 very
large pages?  Or, if we split credit, does someone want to do picture
descriptions?  I would love to get this up before Nichole has her
surgery and pictures would be out of the question in that time frame.

Thanks for any help and guidance!
