Hello Mike:

I've just started submitting books to bookshare.org.  I'm spellchecking books 
twice before submitting them.  First check is within the OCR program itself.  
Second check is within Microsoft Word.

I'm right now working on validating a book that almost seems too perfect

somewhere else.
It's definitely not webb-Braille or another blindness group; but 
formatting seems perfect and I am not coming up with spelling errors.
I certainly don't want to erroneously intimate that something wasn't 
scanned; so what might be some ways of seeking to verify the authenticity 
of a submission without outright questioning the submitter?
Or should I just validate the book indicating my concerns in the comment 
field and let Palo Alto decide for themselves.
