Hey Kim,

Near the end of the checkout list is a book called New Legends. It's not mythology, it is a collection of science fiction stories by folks the editor considers "New Legends" in the field. OK, I'm promoting it because I scanned it. It is a long book and only a couple of the stories are humorous, but you might like it.

By the way, Scott Rains wrote on the list that BTC stands for "Batchifier" a computer program used to process books so they are easier for new proofers to work with by standardizing the formatting.

Hi, I think I've been sitting on my laurels long enough (smile) and am
interested in proofreading another fiction project. Favorite genres:
romance, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, historical fiction. Would
like to do something humorous to lighten things up a little (the last
projects concerned scandal and murder.) Will proofread every word of a
file regardless of notice I may not have to do so. By the way, I've gone
to the checkout list and have seen a lot of books marked with BTC.
Shouldn't there be an explanation above the books to check out what
those initials stand for and what they mean? I take it they are for new
volunteers to look at because the books designated are already in the
collection but have been deliberately messed up so new proofreaders can
learn how to proofread? Nifty idea which wasn't available to me when I
first started. Regards, Kim Friedman.
