Hi, Mike, I'll be glad to proofread your book for you. Expect progress
reports from me at regular intervals. Just curious, but those books
marked with BTC, are they available for checkout by not-so-new
proofreaders? Regards, Kim Friedman.

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.
