I'd be actually interesting to see how they perfrom their quality control.
must be something i'm missing, because quality control seems _easy_ to me. you step through the scan-set making sure you've got every page-number, and then you step through it again making sure every scan was a clean one that captured all of the text on the entire page without any blurs anywhere. if a page is bad, you redo the page, while the book is still right in your hands. on the other hand, getting a report of a bad page later means that you must go to all of the difficulty of fetching the book again, which is a pain in the ass. so, to my mind, the "learning curve" on any scanning project is learning to do it right the first time, so you don't have to re-do it. -bowerbird p.s. the idea that google rescans the whole book if a page is reported missing makes them seem downright stupid. if they keep that up, it'll take 'em 20 years.
