There are times when taking longer to validate a book makes sense. My view is that if a submission is excellent, and I can make it basically perfect by reading it through as a validator that's what I'm going to do. Also, I've worked on books that were really longterm projects. They were rare books that wouldn't be easy for someone to just rescan, and they needed a lot of work but once that work was done they were definitely excellent quality. If someone wants to take the time to fix up these books, I don't see why that should be viewed as a negative. Kellie
