Hi, Monica.  Hi, All.

I'd be perfectly happy to help with your book, Monica, but it's already off Step 1. If anybody needs help, my library has the book and if I can be of assistance,
write me at mbeasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Best wishes,
Marilyn

Hi, everybody. If any of you have time, I could really use some help with validation of a book I just submitted. I did some really messy scans when I was a new volunteer and had been promising myself I'd rescan them. So I just put up a BSO of The DNA Of Relationships, by Gary Smalley and others. The movers are coming for my print books soon, so I won't have access to this book after next week. I've run rank spelling and fixed all obvious errors in the scan. It's at 99.95 percent accuracy. So a validater just needs to read it, remove headers if desired, and make sure all pages are present. The pages have some blank lines on them due to drawings, and Bookshare's tools can remove those so you don't have to do those by hand. I deleted all garbled text associated with the illustrations. I'd like to make sure this book is ok so Bookshare won't have to buy it later as part of their plan to replace books that are rated fair or that are really messed up. I'd be grateful to anyone who can take this on for me. (smile) I've left comments about the book on its download page, and I still have the print book right now if anything needs to be replaced. Thanks in advance to anyone who will help.
