It would also be nice if there were a way, when you release a book, to
upload the copy you've been working on. I have sometimes released a book,
because I felt it needed more clean-up time than I was willing to spend, but
I've already made some improvements. It's sad to think of some other
volunteer having to start from scratch.
Regards,
Paula
