Ken:

The copy submitted by Jill has a rating of 99.84 with 185 errors. While the copy on bookshare was rated at 98.67 with over 1000 errors. There are many single letters. So in my opinion, it was worth the rescan.

But, consider this. I ran a spell check on the book on the list. It rated
about ninety-eight per cent, but the major reason for that is that
characters are referred to by initials. Each of those initials counts as a
spelling error. I have read many excellent rated books that were worse.
And, anyway, you can't have truly excellent books when you don't have
accurate page numbers and headings.

Emmpire falls on the list is listed as a fair copy which is why I
rrescanned
it. Bookshare is encouraging us to rescan fair books and I certainly
agree. 
Even some "good" books should be rescanned in my opinion.
