Hi Chanelle,
Your book is definitely a paperback.
On the copyright page, I think that Simon ft Schuster should read Simon &
Schuster.
Happy proofreading!

Hi Mayrie,
The copyright page is below. I don't mind my work being replaced. I was only
concerned for the person who took time to scan the book. However, he/she is
probably aware of the publisher and that a book may be replaced at a later
time.
Thank you for looking into this matter for me.
Chanelle

Hi Chanelle,
First, "do not use" is only a warning. Any books that we add to the
Bookshare collection that are published by publishers on that list might be
replaced if that publisher ever releases an electronic copy of the book and
gives it to Bookshare. If you are bothered that your work might be
released, I suggest not working on books published by publishers on that
list. If you are uncomfortable, I suggest releasing the book, and not
rejecting it, as someone else might be perfectly comfortable with the
possibility of having their book replaced at some unknown date by the
publisher.
I'll paste what I found out about ibooks Inc. They do appear to be a
publisher of printed, and not electronic books.
Ibooks, Inc.
Ibooks, the trade publishing house known for its extensive backlist titles
in science fiction, fantasy, history, popular culture, graphic novels, and
military nonfiction, brings new and solid titles to the marketplace.
Readers of notable authors such as Isaac Asimov, Roger Zelazny, Stan Lee,
John Betancourt, and Chris Beakey will enjoy new and familiar favorites as
the company develops its rich backlist while presenting a new generation of
writers to booksellers.
Milk & Cookies Press represents the children's imprint and features writers
such as the late Fritz Leiber and Cadecott Award winner David Wiesner for
their title "Gonna Roll the Bones".
Our website is...

It looks like your book is indeed a valid paperback. Barnes and Noble lists
one published by ibooks Inc.
I think you're safe to continue working on this book.
If you would like definite confirmation, please paste the text of the
copyright page in an e-mail either to the list, or to me privately, and I'll
happily research your exact book for you.
You may reach me privately at

Happy proofreading!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] whether or not to reject a book based on publisher
Dear Volunteer list,
I found a book to proofread that is published by ibooks distributed by SIMON
ft SCHUSTER, INC. Simon Schuster is listed as one of the "do not use"
publishers. However, I did not see an imprint called ibooks. Pocket Books is
also listed, which is a "do not use" imprint. Originally, I thought that
this was an ebook until I looked up the ISBN and found that it corresponds
with a paper back edition. The book is entitled The Crossing by Howard Fast.
What is somewhat confusing is that a page in the front matter states that
the book is an original publication of ibooks, inc. It is copyrighted by
Howard Fast with the dates of 1971 and 1999. I am fairly certain that I
should reject this book; however, I don't want someone's work to be easily
set aside until I am sure.
Chanelle
