Hi Tammy, If you have a copy of the book, it is wonderful that you can scan and fix what's wrong. As a proofreader, having a copy of the book you're proofreading is the best possible option for fixing errors. Absolutely you can fix whatever needs fixing however you need to. Good luck, and happy proofreading!

Hi, I'm trying to proof the book Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy. My problem is some of the pages are missing and some other pages are badly scanned. I love the book, so I got a copy of it. Can I just scan and fix the problems myself? Do I have to reject the book? I have worked on the book for three weeks and it will take me another three to finish it. It has 325 pages in the book. But the scan has 331 (I have fix some pages and this is the number I have got it down too.) not counting Title page,copyright and etc. There are so few books I find funny that I'm will to keep working on it till it is finished. I'm just not sure how or whom to explain the problems to.
