Hi! So I'm new, and I haven't uploaded my 1 minute test yet, but I will do asap. In the meantime could I please claim section 7 (Miss Gaylord and Jenny)?

Hi, I would like to claim the 4th chapter in this section, "A comedy in Crape." Can I? Can I please look at the text first? Thank you! The link to the text can always be found in item 4 of the first post. It is advisable to check the text before you offer to claim a section, rather than c...

....I'd like to claim Section 8, Dr. Polnitzski. Below, the link to my 1 Minute Test post: https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=52363 Welcome, docfroy! I will put you down for Section 8 pending the results of your one-minute test. I listened briefly, and can tell you that there is a ...
