    Hi John, Tonight I received six rejection notices for Dale Brown titles.Did 
you happen to notice when these books were submitted, and when they finally 
showed up on the admin-Q?  It's been over a year!  Not to mention numerous 
letters to Gustavo asking as to the where abouts of the books which apparently 
disappeared into the Bookshare ether and have been lost until NOW! If I had 
been noticed of the condition they were returned in from being validated in a 
timely manor, they could have been fixed! As it is, I no longer have the 
original scans or the books.  I'm  sure they  had either section-breaks or 
page-breaks when originally submitted.  

Recently I received a rejection for Deep Black.  Supposedly it had no 
page-breaks, which I know it had, because I still have the original submission 
file.  The validator apparently unwittingly stripped the page breaks from the 
file and then  rejected it. So now what about Behind the Door, which has been 
sitting in the admin Q since last October?  How many hours of work do you 
suppose this represents? Yes just a little miffed!  I know this is not your 
fault, but maybe you can pass my feelings along to someone else where it may do 
some good, or not! Something needs to change in the way things are being 
handled!  Thanks for listening.  
Tom Hawkins
