Hi Jamie, Books listed on Step 1 will have "HOLD FOR..." in the title of the book (much like when a book is intended to replace a copy, BSO is entered in the title), so it is immediately obvious which books are intended for a certain validator. For example, I just checked the current Step 1 page, and if you look towards the bottom there is one title with HOLD FOR MONICA in the preceding the rest of the title. It sounds like in your situation, HOLD FOR was intended to be placed in the title, but perhaps was forgotten. I've BCC'd Lena on this message, so if that book was in fact intended for her, she will let you or I know, and we can proceed from there.

I was puzzled by this because I'd never run across the situation before. Today, irronically, I downloaded the book The 36-hour Day. I saw no indication that the book was on hold until I unzipped the file. The title has the words On_Hold_For_Lena in it. How do I know that the book is on hold before I download it? Should I go ahead and work on it a while or release it back to step one. Help please.
