Since it is my understanding that we are now striving to make these books as 
good as possible, i vote for returning the book for more editing with an 
explanatory note first to the submitter or validator. In the case of the Pearl, 
if i were the validator, I would have removed the junk characters. Jill

  I changed the book rating from excellent to good when I approved it because 
there are some junk characters on some pages (like the very last page in the 
book). If there were just a few junk characters, I'd leave it as excellent. If 
there were loads, I'd return it for more editing. This book was right on the 
fence. So my question to the group is: what do you want me to do when a book 
has some junk characters, more than a few but less than loads?  The choices are:
  1) leave it as excellent
  2) return it for more editing
  3) change the rating to good
  Have I missed another option?
  What's your vote?

  Thanks!  Carrie

  Hi all:
  Did anyone on this list validate Pearl by Tabitha King?  I worked really hard 
on it, and I noticed it had a "good" rating, instead of an "excellent" rating.  
Does anyone know why? I always want to improve my scans and I'm baffled why 
this gets a "good" rating.  It has a lot of dialogue but that's all I can think 
of.
  Thanks.
  Amber
