but some offices won't or some take too long to get the book back to you.
The semester is only 16 weeks. I think vejas should use a reader for that 
chapter.

Actually, I would take the book back and make them fix it everytime it
has errors. It is their job. I would not use a reader just to read a
book unless it was completely visual, which one of the stories in my
literature book is.
