I like the romances too, but it's one particular person who scans them
and they're usually a lot of work to get them into shape. At least for my
standards. Right now I have been in a scanning mode. I think I got a little
burned out after validating so many books that needed quite a lot of
cleaning up. I just needed a break from validating. So I haven't been
validating much lately.

Elizabeth, you're right on both counts. I had a couple of books that I kept for weeks because I was waiting on them to come in from my library. Do you think I should have just released them instead? I thought I should hold them since I had holds on the print books. In a couple of cases, the print books I got were in paperback form where I couldn't get a clearer scan than the submitter did. I didn't see this as a problem since the books were in ark format and had been languishing around for months before I took them. Is there a waya I should have handled them instead?
As for the romances, I don't have a solution. Maybe we can clone Sue since she likes them. (smile)

At Sunday 6/18/2006 06:11 PM, you wrote:I notice a lot of books held for weeks and weeks by the same person only to be released. I know this happens for unavoidable reasons sometimes. I have done it myself. But the more we each do this the less likely a long-time-on-step-one book has of ever coming off step 1 and getting to the validation cue.
Also, I notice the list seems to have lots and lots of romances on it which seem to stay there. Perhaps we need to submit fewer romances for the moment just until some of the current crop gets worked on. Just a thought. (smile).
Peace, E.
