Hello:
This is a repost of a message i wrote on June 30 in reference to the "BSO" flag.
Good morning everyone:
A new copy of the Fair book list has been generated.
It can be found on BookshareScans.
Now, in order to keep things sane for Mr. Galindo, we need to follow a
couple of rules.
Otherwise he'll go crazy, resign from Bookshare and take a 7 dollar an hour
job guiding drunk tourists to the nearest legal brothel near Los Vegas.
Rule #1, If you are going to do some editing of the original scan, when you
upload the book, please change the title to
BSO <title> e.g BSO The Catcher in the Rye
This will be a flag to Mr. Galindo that this is an intensional resubmit of a
book already on bookshare.
It will be up to Mr. Galindo to remove the BSO before he approves the title,
otherwise he shall receive a flogging and be read the complete and
unabridged works of Aloysius Q. Schmaltzenstein
Gavronsky
Rule #2, If you download a fair book and realize that a complete rescan
would serve the Bookshare community better then an attempted edit of the
original, you are to request Mr. Galindo to place that book on the step 1
page in order for you to download the title and have it to your credit.
By following these rules you will make me and Mr. Gallindo much happier
and truly be worthy of the title "gentle people."
If you have questions, please e-mail me "off-list."

Jill,
BSO stands for Book Share Org or Bookshare.Org. Some people have said that
you should put BSO in front of books which need special attention, like
replacements for books which are not rated Excellent.
Since I Haven't heard any of the staff say to do that, I asked Gustavo if
that is the way he likes to handle those types of books back in July, but he
never answered my message.

From the fair book list I plan to scan East of the Mountains by David
Guterson. Also can someone tell me what BSO in front of some books stands for?
