Lori, I've had the exact same problem with Sister Dean's books, and could never find a way to contact her. It's something in the way she's scanning or editing her scans. The books were very good scans, but missing all the quotation marks. It's impossible to fix that without spending way more time than it would take to rescan the book. I wish someone could get hold of her and tell her what's happening, as I hate rejecting otherwise excellent scans.

Hi Lori,Oh, I agree it's a bummer to reject the book, but definitely way too much work to have to insert quotation marks. I am curious as to why and how they were removed. I'll never know, but it's very odd. Hope you find another book to proofread that you enjoy soon!

I decided to see if I could get some information from google.books. I pulled up two sentences that I thought should be in quotations. They were in quotations on google books, but not in the book I'm proofreading. Unfortunately, I have decided to reject the book. In order to create an accurate copy someone would have to make many comparisons between the print book and the bookshare copy.Sad because it is a very interesting book.Thanks again for your suggestion.

Ihave proofread a couple of books where the conversation isn't in quotes, but that text is either bolded or italicized. Is that maybe the case with your book? Just a suggestion.Sorry, I don't know how to contact either of the folks that youwant to contact.Good luck and happy proofreading!

Delores Dean?I am proofreading one of her submissions and am puzzled. The book does not use quotations around statements that seem to be quotations.This is the second book in a week where I have needed to reach thesubmitter and have had no way of doing so. I contacted Carrie and Scott about the first instance, as well as this list, but because of their work load I have heard nothing.So if anyone knows how to reach either Casey Matthews or Sister M.Delores Dean I would appreciate knowing.Lori C.
