Thanks, Laura,
Do you think I should make an illustration file to go with the recording? I did that for a book on the mathematics of the fourth dimension, and I think I did one for a book on chemical assaying methods for mines.

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
Thanks, Laura; I've uploaded chapter two. Unless I've miscounted (a distinct possibility), there's a floating set of quotation marks at the end. I've assumed that the last few sentences are for the narrator, rather than the previously quoted Cyrus Jay. The book's a lot shorter than I thought. Peter

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
Thanks for catching that, Laura. I've added an "end quote" and re-uploaded.
Yes ... and two chapters on puddings!
I like the author/compiler's relaxed style. Just the occasionally long sentence needs re-reading to get the tone right for the clauses and sub-clauses.

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
Chapter 1 uploaded.
Laura, I can't give page numbers, as I don't know what version you're using. (I use the Gutenberg text version, in a word processor, adjusted to Times New Roman, 14 point.)

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid
Thanks, Annise;
According to Gutenberg, this is the only book which Reid has been involved in. Technically, he's the compiler, but no other authors are given.
In the title page for the 1908 edition, he's listed as "late", so his death date is 1908 or before.

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans
My pleasure; you've been a great help. I'll set up Cheshire Cheese within the next few days. I have my eye on a collection of adult short stories by Edith Nesbit, which no-one else seems to have caught, for the next book.

Thanks, Laura. I've uploaded chapter 40: "A white-glove day" pdf pages 486-489 / text 457-460 A bit of heavy irony here! I did do one drawing, but I'm very unhappy with it. I have a handful of PD victorian street photos which I'll zip into annise's folder later as possibilities for the cov...

California snow!
I just saw a short video on youtube with the part-title of "California is covered in snow!" Is anyone here experiencing this? [EDIT: despite the video being dated today, the commentary refers to ... I assume ... last weekend.] EDIT: Also, I was wondering if that "commentator" is ...
