Hi, Natasha!  I can't imagine anyone from the Bookshare staff objecting to
your changing those chapter titles.  As Mary said, we can't hold the book up
to a mirror.  If this book were being produced in Braille or recorded format
for NLS, I'm 99% sure that they would change that.  Take care!

  Hi Everyone,
  I just finished scanning a book and as a cutesy measure the
author/publisher made every chapter heading appear backwards (the type that
if you hold it up and look in a mirror you can read it).  Naturally the OCR
didn't like this at all.  The question is do you all prefer I write these
normally (i.e. CHAPTER) or should I reproduce them backwards for the effect?
Naturally I can't make some of the letters backwards like the P and R so it
would be written as RETPAHC.  I have to fix every single occurrence.  So it
doesn't matter to me which way I do it.

  So what's the preference of readers?
