Dear Misha,
Thank you for looking for the book. After emailing the list, I thought to
look on RFB&D or Learning Ally. Then Carrie told me not to worry about
describing the images, so I will tackle the monumental task of proofreading.
The Learning Ally edition is the same as the print book one, so I should be
able to correct garbled text and label images where appropriate. Of course,
not everything will be the same, and I will take extreme care not to add or
subtract from the original text.
Thanks again for your help.
Chanelle

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?
