Thanks. that does help. The Narnia book I proofed did have my name at the
bottom as a submitter; perhaps because it was put from the collection onto
the queue for me to correct (many years ago so I was listed as submitter
instead of proofer; hat's how I got the list of 28) I'm not sure where my
list of 100 came from; maybe Madeleine or someone-sent it to me back July.
Oh. I just realized that the list of 100 I was looking at was only one page
of 4; so it seems that since 2005 I've proofed 504 books; not too bad; If
i could figure the number of pages it would be a lot more, since quite a
few had more than 500 (and some 800+ pages); and I scanned quite a few
books in the early years of my retirement; that was fun, and, in a sense,
more satisfying because I was fulfilling requests, and finding authors and
their works of whom I'd never heard;
