Hello Tracy, It is, of course, impossible to perfectly predict exactly when any particular book is going to be submitted. I'm afraid that, despite in progress and wish lists, this is never going to become a perfect science. I empathize with your frustration, and would like to continue to brainstorm any additional things we might be able to do for the purpose of preventing similar issues. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Carcione" <carcione@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 8:36 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Duplicate submissions bring me down Duplicate submissions bring me down, way way down. I just spent several hours working on "Small Favor: A Harry Dresden Novel". I finally finished it and uploaded it, only to see that it had been added to the new releases sometime in the last day or two. I didn't see a dup when I got it, and it wasn't in the collection, so I went ahead and validated it. Now I feel like I totally wasted my time. I hope whoever validated the other copy did a good job and didn't just bang it out in 10 minutes. That would be adding insult to injury. I wish there was a foolproof way of preventing duplicate submissions, and that submitters would be more careful. Makes me wonder why I bother at all.
