The short answer is no.
Bookshare doesn't require books to have book numbers in order to make it
into the collection. Of course they would prefer that they were there, but
they aren't necessary.

I am working on validating a book which obviously been scanned. The scan is excellent with only a few errors. It is the entire text of the print book. However, there are no page numbers. Am I suppose to reject the book because there are no page numbers even though everything else is present?

Sorry, there must be a 1 to 1 match between printed pages and etext pages. If pages are missing they should be integrated. If there are duplicate pages extra copy must be removed.
If it is clear there is no 1 to 1 page correspondence, at least for the body-text after all front matter, and nothing can be done about it, the book should be trashed.
Let's keep quality up, folks!

Hi, Rachael! The main thing is to make sure that all of the text is there. If yyou have access to the book, you can re-scan pages to make the numbers match up if you want to. Take care!

what about the page numbers not matching up then? ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:guidoc@xxxxxxxxxx>Guido Corona To: <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 3:20 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: contents in columns?
In general you should scan with column recognition turned off and two-pages-per-scan turned on. It may be faster to rescan the table of contents than to fix it.

Subject [bksvol-discuss] contents in columns?
hello, i've only validated until now but thought i'd try a bit of scanning. The table of contents is in two columns, do I leave the information this way or do I put it on separate pages so it flows numerically? Ex: chapter 1 chapter 5 1-1 5-1 1-2 5-2 etc etc
OR
chapter 1 1-1 1-2 etc chapter 2 etc chapter 3 . . chapter 5 5-1 5-2 etc
Thank You Rachel
