Cindy, us blind volunteers do our best at proofreading without a print
copy to compare it to. You may as well too.

“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've taken /Asking for Trouble/ by Sandra Byrd to proof; my library doesn't have it; there are other books by her and e copies of that title by another but it's not available; I won't be able to compare the scan with a print book; should I just do my best to proof it and not worry about being true to the print book, errors and all? or should I ask he scanner to snail mail it to me and I'll return it by return mail when I've finished proofing it?

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas or whatever December holiday you celebrate
