Once I get the book, it only takes a few minutes to despine it, scan it and
start the OCR program. It's validating it later that can take a long time. I
can't validate it, since I'm busy with the New York Times bestsellers. Do you
want me to put it on the download list with HOLD FOR ESTIN in the title so you
can validate it?
By the way, you do realize that I'm going to kill the book, right? There's
an industrial-strength chopper in the office, so I despine the book and put it
in the scanner, which zips through each separate page at the rate of about 100
a minute. If you don't want your book to be despined, please don't send it to
me. I basically destroy the book (it took me a LONG time to stop feeling
guilty about killing books :-))
