They should QC the publishers books like they do ours. I have seen some interesting books by the publisher. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of siss52 Sent: Monday, July 26, 2010 8:50 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: 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.

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.

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. _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
