Tammy, you don't have to reject the book. You can rescan the badly scanned or 
missing pages. I've done this when proofing a book. It takes less time to 
rescan a few pages than it would to fix them up if they're badly scanned. And 
of course, if they're missing, then you have to either rescan them or ask the 
original submitter or some other volunteer to get the book and do it. But if 
you have the book, then it's altogether simpler and faster to rescan them 
yourself.

  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.
