Elizabeth, no need to be so pessimistic. I just downloaded "Working". It
has a Kurzweil quality rating of 99.8% text accuracy, with only 2 words
not in the dictionary. By copy of this note, I am asking Claire to
change its rating to excellent.
Thanks,
G.

[bksvol-discuss] books for children rated "good"
There is a book called Working on the new books list. It's audience
is certainly children. The book is listed as being thirty pages long
and having a "good" rating. What kind of book can end up with a
rating of "good" and be thirty pages long? You would think a
validator could spell check thirty pages.
I am particularly concerned at finding books directed at children
with less than "excellent" ratings. This is the group who are often
learning braille and who may take part in the co-operation of AFB's
Braille Bug. Surely we can give them something better than "good"!!!
