Or the submitter can validate the book him/herself. I
know it's not the most ideal or recommended situation,
and it probably doesn't apply to the books Dan
rejected, but if a book sits on the download list for
several weeks and isn't chosen by anybody or is taken
and released several times, if the submitter thinks it
belongs in the collection he or she should validate
it.  I'm thinking especially of some of the nonfiction
and textbooks.

But I do agree with Elizabeth that it would be nice if
someone would post here before rejecting the book, and
then maybe waiting a couple of days to see if anyone
else is willing to take it. If someone offers, then
the original person can release rather than reject.
Me, for instance--smile. I wouldn't have taken Dan's
books, And Elizabeth knows the books I won't take, but
there are some I have that were going to be rejected
that I expect to enjoy validating, and if I don't,
I'll reject them. Some that I've done have really had
very little wrong with them--just needed page breaks
and were quite good scans. Others have had a lot of
scannos, but I've found them interesting reads and
haven't minded correcting as I go--and replacing a few
missing pages here and there that would have been
missed if I weren't reading the book. I've come across
authors whose work I enjoyed that I never would have
thought of reading before, and I've gone and read
others of his/her books. smile
