I think Charley Brown said it best. AAARGH!

“Are you really surprised by the endurance of religion? What ideology is likely
to be more durable than one that conforms, at every turn, to our powers of
wishful thinking? Hope is easy; knowledge is hard. Science is the one domain in
which we human beings make a truly heroic effort to counter our innate biases
and wishful thinking. Science is the one endeavor in which we have developed a
refined methodology for separating what a person hopes is true from what he has
good reason to believe. The methodology isn't perfect, and the history of
science is riddled with abject failures of scientific objectivity. But that is
just the point-these have been failures of science, discovered and corrected
by-what, religion? No, by good science.”

I’m sorry to report that your idea for a fix isn’t going to work. That’s
because the entire file is littered with these extra spaces; as near as I can
tell, the scanning software gave you a double space at every line break--that
is to say, at the end of every line of text, even mid sentence.
I found some images of the printed book online, so I can see where the
paragraph breaks go. I scoured the scanned file for clues that would match up
explicitly with these breaks, and they simply aren’t there.
I’m so sorry not to have a better report. I’ll have to reject this scan again,
as you suggest.

Beverly, I just now uploaded Lost River with a hold for you. As I type it is
not yet showing on the checkout list, but it should soon. ... If it doesn't
work and you can't figure out any other fix I suppose you can just reject it
again and I will consider whether to start scanning another book.
