Quality control can be especially challenging with backlist titles. Texts that were carefully proofread and copy edited in their original print editions may not translate perfectly when scanned for digital conversion, and "you can't expect a data-conversion vendor to have the same understanding of your content as your editors did the first time through," Brooks says. He gives an example of a textbook on logic, which is the last place you would expect to see verse—but as it turns out, Medieval logicians used verses as mnemonic aids. "Sure enough, there was a verse in the middle of [a logic textbook]," he recalls. "It got tagged wrong, and it was only when we were doing a design review that we spotted it."
