It's coming out Very badly and I think someone else has taken that project. I hope my copy is just substandard. I quit on it 200 pages in when I realized that inner margin problems effected one quarter of the pages.

Gary, Is "Whom the Gods Would Destroy" what you're switching from? Neither Judy nor I scan--we just validate. I'm willing to validate what you scan if you submit it and put Hold for Cindy on it. It will take a while, though, since Judy isn't in any hurry and I have a few other things to do first. I will do it before the huge volumes I have downloaded, though. However, if someone else wants to do a fresh scan of it, please post here so Gary and I both know.

If someone's doing them, let me know.You might get a better put together copy than I did. It would have scanned great except for those 20 footnotes and the inner margins. I was getting accuracy numbers which the footnotes threw Way off, but, even with the margins were 99.3 or so. The good pages were coming in at 99.7 and up. There was no way to get the stuff in the margin so that the first character on some pages on lots of lines wouldn't come out. I found one paperback from Canada for $3 and ordered it just to read the book. My copy won't be usable here. Looks like a great book.----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 8:42 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Whom The Gods > I'd be happy to do it, if you don't want to, Judy, but > it will take a while because I still have 2 books that > must be done first--and others that can probably wait > if you're in a hurry for the book. > > Let me know what you want to do. > > G.Cindy > > --- Gary Petraccaro <garyp130@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> This one's going to take some work.
