I've started what I call a "scratch" document with each book I validate, and
I decided with my last validation that I would copy the "notes" from the
Bookshare site and put them in the "scratch" document. I also put the
intro. pages - title page, book jacket info., and contents pages into the
"scratch" document. That way, if I need to refer to them while validating
or while uploading, the scratch document can be conveniently and easily
found. I delete it once the book is validated. If I'm validating a couple
different books, I name the document "scratch - book title". I keep the
scratch in the same directory as the book I'm validating.
I agree the cryptic notes could be much more complete and specifically
informative.
