Hi Chela, Jamie and everyone!

I downloaded and read "No, David" last night. I'm a sucker for kids books with those lovely picture descriptions. All of the picture descriptions were there. If not, the book would have been trashed, since the text would be nothing without the picture descriptions.

Jamie, no they didn't I didn't see any picture descriptions, sadly! I don't think that outsourcers from Africa and such do that sort of thing but someone can correct me, I remember reading books that were submitted by Digital Divide or something like that. They do a reasonable job too. I'm sure they're not reading this messages but thumbs up to them so far.

the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of
the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter

Scott, one of the first books I proofread as a new volunteer was called No, David by David Shannon, where the pictures were highly important because the words No David (which are about the only words in the book) just don't mean anything without the pictures.

However, when I just checked, it was replaced by a scan done by Worth Trust.

So I hope they put in the picture descriptions equivalent to the ones I worked so hard on a few years ago.
