Volunteer scanned books VS publisher quality submits
Hi Folks,
A book I proofread was replaced with a PQ copy several months after I
uploaded it. The submitter had done a fabulous job, and I had read it all
the way through and corrected scannos. has nothing to do with how good a
job we do. If the publisher submits a copy of what we have done, the PQ
book automatically replaces our work. I am not going to stop proofing
because of it though. I hope this doesn't start a thread because I do not
know if it applies to books with picture descriptions. I hope not. (smile)

Larry, I had the same experience several weeks ago concerning a book I had
proofread. The PQ book made it into the collection the same night I
submitted my proofread book.
My only suggestion is to check the publisher. In the case of my book, the
publisher was a subsidiary of Random House one of the publishers that
submits PQ books to Bookshare.
You have my sympathy, but I don't know a solution except to avoide certain
publishers and avoid their subsidiaries.

I sent the below to Scott. If I've missed something, someone tell me.
Scott,
I just had the experience of one of my scan submissions being rejected
because a publisher quality book beat it into the collection. If I have
missed it somewhere, I appologize, but is there any way of knowing what
books are going to be Pq submitted. I enjoy scanning books for the site but
feel I am lacking my marching orders. What should I be scanning, or should
I avoid scanning.
