Hi,
I'm going to release the book if I have too much trouble with this. It's
a
book I really want to read, so perhaps I will be patient and keep going
with it.

And even for sighted people they're annoying. We do have the option of
reading them before or after reading the main text, but still, it's
annoying--and figuring out where to put them when validating is something
of a challenge.
Jim, I suggest, if you don't mind, deleting them from the middle of the
sentence and placing them someplace on the page where they don't
interrupt
an idea--between paragraphs or, better, sections, or at the end of the
page
if a paragraph ends before the end of the page, or at the top of the page
if a new paragraph starts there.

It may be that these quotes are sidebars in the print book.
Such
sidebars sometimes scan the way you describe the reading of
this book.
I am an experienced validator. I have given up on at least
one book
containing such sidebars.
Working out sidebars is extremely difficult and often
requires
extensive sighted help.
Perhaps you can release the book and pick an easier
project.
All the best,
E.
