My questions are two:
1. What is the approximate success rate & timetable for getting missing pages for books in DP? (I.e., how many books are stalled for missing pages, and how many have had their pages found/restored, and how long after proofreading was complete did this happen?)
Nobody really keeps track.
This is true. But, let me offer this completely personal, anecdotal evidence. I've added 691 projects to the DP queue in the last couple years. Granted, many of them are still in the queue waiting to be release (maybe 25% or more). Out of those nearly 700 projects, 2 have been held up by missing pages. The first one was about a year and half ago and I can't remember anymore how that one was resolved. The other just cropped up last week. The images were taken from Cornell's Making of America project and they had one page scan in twice, overwriting one page. An e-mail sent to their administrators promised that they would fix it soon. I'm giving them until next week before I bug them again. If my numbers are any indication ... around 0.29% of our projects will come up missing a page. I have a feeling it is a actually a point or two higher, but I could be wrong. Josh
