O.K., Guys. Here's what I don't understand. If a book
is put back on the download list with a note like
confirm copyright holder or correct title, how can a
person just do that if it's the original back on the
download list? Jake, I did think it was the
original--thanks for confirming my opinion--but if
onlyh one thing is wrong, like the copyright name or
title, and the original is put back on the step one
list, then someone else has to start the validation
process all over again before correcting the one thing
wrong. This doesn't make sense to me. 

As to rejected books being put back on the download
list, I know that will happen if someone requests it.
Gustavo was kind enough to do it recently for someone
who had rejected it by mistake and for me wo wanted to
validate a rejected book so it wouldn't be rejected.

I'm curious, too, as to where all those terms are,
Jake.  Some I've seen on the download list, but surely
Publish isn't there, according to what it means. If
the book is in the collection it won't be the download
list. And Valid and Invalid--if the book had already
been validated, why is it back on the step one list?  

And I've seen Time Expired, so does Return New mean
that the book was purposfully released by a would-be
validator and Time Expired mean what it says?

As E has pointed out, it would really be helpful if
there were a way a person who releases a book could
explain why. Maybe a Comments section could be added
so that when one hits Release he/she can explain. Just
another suggestion for the engineers when they have
nothing else to do. smile
