Some thoughts:
(1) If the book jacket scans well, definitely keep it in the submitted
copy together at the book's end.
It can provide the reader with useful info and is a good indication that
the story is truly over.
Book jackets, along with any other supplementary information, are welcome
additions to a submission but not required.
And unless someone was very familiar with a specific book, how would they
know what was and was not missing unless it directly impacted the reading.
Gustavo with the amount of work on his plate hardly has the time to check
for things like that, nor is this part of the formal validation
requirement.
Thus, a good submitter makes every attempt to prepare the book in the best
way possible in the event that the validator only does the basic check.
And a good submitter also notes, within the submission comments, anything
that a potential validator ought to know such as that a spellcheck might
be warranted,
that a book has a lot of foreign words which would automatically not come
up in a spellchecker, et al.
