Hi, Nancy. Actually, as long as you're looking at the same edition you validated and can be sure of that, either through using the ISBN or an edition number, using Amazon is fine. You just want to make sure you're looking at the correct edition, since some books have more than one. Take care.

Your advice helped a lot, and I'll be more careful next time. I actually looked it up on Amazon.com, which is probably not the approved method, so I'll use the site you provided from this point on.

I can't tell if this is Gustavo's work or not, but it looks like it probably was. It always helps Gustavo when he's approving books if you verify the copyright information and include that you have verified it in the comments when submitting or validating a book. That way if he looks at the copyright and wonders if it's correct, then he can read in the comments that you've already verified that it is. It doesn't hurt either if you mention how you verified the copyright either (i.e. having someone sighted check the book for you, verifying the copyright through the U.S. Copyright office's website...). If you are unfamiliar with the U.S. Copyright Office's website, you can find it at the following address: http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html. It's a handy sight for checking copyright information. Now, as for how to fix the problem with this book, - redownload the book if it's still on the Step 1 page - verify the copyright - include in the comments that you have verified the copyright along with information on the method you used to verify the copyright - reupload the file you uploaded yesterday, the one which includes any corrections you made during validation Good luck, Gerald -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Lorana Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 7:52 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Validating Books: A Mistake I validated a book yesterday, and saw it back in the pool today with the following comments. Clearly, I made a mistake, but I thought I'd done everything. The copyright information was on the book, etc. Could someone interpret the following for me?
