[stylist] who checks the details

[Barbara Hammel]

That's when it would be best to let the bookshare people know.  The mistakes 
I've seen in my book are not those kinds of errors I was speaking of, though 
there are some of those.  I've read a book like the one you're talking about 
and reported it.  They cannot attempt to fix it or just take it away if we 
don't inform them.  They can't read all the books that come to them 
personally, I don't think.  I don't know how books get added, actually.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
