Hi all, The recent discussion here about the author Dorothy Dunnett prompted me to start reading Nicolo Rising, which was already in my books folder with 835 other books of interest that I haven't read yet. So far I am really enjoying this book, both because it's interesting and because either the scanner, the validator, or both did a really excellent job. So if one of my fellow deranged perfectionists resident in this asylum is responsible, here's one reader who really appreciates the effort. Also, if someone scans other books by this author I may very well be interested in sharing in the validation. I would even scan them myself if I had access--I'm not deterred by long books, having just finished an 800-pager about WWI. I once even helped scanned two volumes of the Norton book of American literature, just one of which was 1700 pages long--and we scanned it in one day! Kellie
