That sounds like a tough one without a little sighted assistance. Since there are so many images and you can already tell there is garbled text, it may be that those "images" are places where the book used a font so fancy the poor OCR program didn't know what to do. If you have someone handy that could just skim the book and tell you whether the images are really images. If they are just scrambled text, it would probably take a sighted proofer with a copy of the book to fix it. If they are really all images then you will have to decide whether they need to be described to understand the text (in a book about the new testament, I'd guess image description isn't necessary, but I could be wrong).
Neither google nor amazon have a view inside the book so I can't use those to give you a clue. And none of the libraries around here has it either.

Yesterday, I checked out a book entitled An Introduction to the New Testament by Raymond E. Brown. The last comment in the book history stated that it had been rejected because of section breaks. That was an easy fix, so I began to complete the preliminary proofreading steps and noticed that there were images in the file. Jaws announced 464 drawing layer objects to be exact. Do I reject the book because of this or do I attempt to remove them. I will not be able to describe the images, so should I just release the book for a sighted proofreader or team up with someone? When I looked at the first image, there was some garbled text on the page in addition to the drawing as well as a table that did not make sense. What would be best to do in this situation?Chanelle
