I make sure to check book history to see if submitters email is there and then 
if not, then I contact volunteer support.

  Me too, Judy. If I can rescan it faster than I am taking to fix it, then I 
reject it.

  If it needed page breaks and I couldn't tell where they went without getting 
the print book I'd probably reject it too, because I think it would be faster 
to rescan it because it would also need the page numbers.

  Now if only a couple pages need rescanned I've done that several times. I 
find it easier to rescan a page that has tables or text boxes and do it myself 
than to fix the already scanned copy.

  I've had one proofreader reject several of my books this year for reasons 
that were clearly not in my copy. I think proofreaders should have contact info 
so people can help them when they don't understand something.
