Is it appropriate to re-scan a book to start the process over again hoping for better luck?
Absolutely not. This does not help the situation in any way, and in fact contributes further to the perceived logjam. Every book currently in the PPing phase at DP *will* one day be posted to PG. Ebooks don't have a shelf-life, they will not go stale, there is no race. Given a book written, say, 90 (or 190) years ago, and especially given that PG aims to keep the ebook version available, when finished, for many hundreds of years, a book taking a year or two (or, yes, even five (though I don't know of any needing so long, yet)) to be digitised is chickenfeed.
