Monica and Marilyn, I have the book. I am going through it
after reading the intro pages to see if any pages are
missing, then will read through.
I will do a lot of work on it today. Took the evening off
as yesterday was my birthday--the big 60.
Looks like a very interesting book.

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.
