Hi Jamie!

I am all for the contact information.  I would have welcomed it.

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.
