Hi, List.
Now, I'll admit I'm nothing if not totally anal. I'm a proofreader by profession, and read everything in sight. I normally read any book I validate, but the book I'm reading now really points up the value of reading books before circulating.
The book is On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio. The book ended up as 840 pages long, and I'd assume by the size it was a big one. Definitely had to build muscles to scan that puppy!
I learned things like the well-known author Erie Stanley Gardner wrote the Perry Mason material. Then there was the comedy team, George Burns and Grade Allen. The spell-checker choked on all the names. And the poor scanner thought 1945-49 or anything of that type should be written 1945^9.
I believe that it is close to 50 sides on cassette from NLS. Now I'm working on the Index, should be done tomorrow.
Are there really people who think we do this just for the credit? I figured I'd be the perfect person to do this, because I'm old enough to remember many of the names. But just a spellcheck would never work.
Kudos to the person who had the patience to scan this book. Now I'll go take it off my wishlist from NLS.
Thanks.
Mickey
