And thank you, Ann, for all your listening, coordinating, and generally keeping us on track! Now we're off to Merrie Olde Christmas! See you round t...

Food Guide for War Service at Home Read by Maria Kasper Dear Ms. Kasper: Every day I listen to Librivox recordings but none give me as much pleasure as your reading of the food guide. It may be an odd interest but home conservation of resources during the great depression & 2 world wars is a pe...

At work today, my co-worker was reading an e-mail and called to me, "What does BC stand for?" -- and I automatically called back "Book Coordinator" !
Of course it turned out she was talking about "b/c" as in "because" ...

Ann, I buckled down and took care of Section 11, which is now posted and ready for proofing. Maria, I like your suggestion about the appendix. This project was your idea so I suggest you choose which sections you want to do. I will gladly do the ones you don't. I will make recording and editing Sec...

I am just posting an update. I recorded the latest chapter, about 57 minutes raw, but have yet to edit. I hope to complete the chapter within a couple days. The final chapter is much shorter so it should not take too long. Maria, we need to discuss how we want to split up Section 13. Take care, Gre...

It was also a very long chapter at close to 25mins. Over to you. Happy PL'ing!! Richard and team ...

Also, the narration files needs some correction, and at the very least it is easier to start with a clean narration file. Give me a few days and I'll have the other files ready for you! And I'...

I see that all of the parts for "Tunnel Under the World" are now in, except for one (Mr. Dorchin). There's enough there for me to do most of the editing, and then just add in Dorchin's part whenever it comes along. But I see several parts are still not marked PL OK. Am I supposed to wait f...
