I think 4 weeks would be fine. Proofreaders may have more than one downloaded and let's not forget the submitter in the process and remember there are those that just do it for the credits. I am two years ahead on credits so that isn't important to me right now or never has been. ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 8:21 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Length Of Time For Holds I too agree with Larry that two weeks is too short a time. Why not consider six weeks if a time limit must be implemented? Thanks. Happy holidays everyone from Larry and me. Susan
