Kim, I am looking for a really good book to scan that you would like to proofread. I have a feeling that our tastes are similar. I both scan and validate and would be happy to get the book from the library if you have a suggestion. I would prefer to have you choose the book.

Hi, all I care to say on this is I never have checked out books which hadholds on them because I was given to understand that it smacks of unethical behavior. I figure the hold is there because this person plans to proofreadthe book. I would like to work with a really good submitter who shares similar literary tastes so I could work with this person making sure booksget added to the collection looking good and hopefully error-free.

It is quite often that I find someone(or someone finds me) that is doing a book that know I would like to proof. The last thing I want to see happen is the book I have been waiting for gets"poached" or picked up by someone else because they are interested inreading it, too. I know that there have been times when I have been looking for something I wanted to proof, but nothing really fit what I like. Usually it is pretty simple to put your request out on the list that you are looking for something in a certain genre. I have never had a problem waiting long atall for someone to put one out there with a hold for me as a result. Yes, I have seen a lot of books on hold for someone else that I would notmind proofing, but that is not what this is all about. If I see something Ireally like and want to read, I'll just wait until it is submitted andprocessed so I can check it out and read it. I would never dream of pickingup someone else's hold. We also have to remember that there are a lot ofpeople who are scanning on request of other people. It is no one's place tointerfere with that process. A little over a week ago I had nothing to proof, so I began looking backthrough the pages of books out there and found a really good one that I have been working on. They may not be there exactly when you want them, but therewill always be something that needs our help as proofreaders. -- Doug To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
