Nice catch!...I usually use the pdf scan to read from (correcting for errors from the original) and I missed this one. (Although when I read it I thought...that doesn't sound right.)

The correction is posted. Chapter 5 should be ready Thursday.

Many thanks,

Philip
Section 04 is PL OK! :clap:
I will be traveling Thurs through Sat so it might be Sunday before I can PL chapter 5.

Tom:

Chapter 5 is in the MW. Have a safe trip.

Chapter 6 probably the first part of next week.

Many thanks,

Philip

It was a great trip. Saw excellent productions of Much Ado About Nothing, and Cyrano de Bergerac in a small Texas town that has a festival every July, brings in professional actors, and puts on four or five plays.

A few items in chapter 6 for your consideration:
02:06 I heard "Orleten" but expected "Ortolan"
02:48 I heard "And thus may one journey..." and expected "and thus one may journey..." ( I wouldn't bother with this one)
07:39 to 07:54 Repeated phrase

The corrections to Chapter 6 have been posted. (I usually do these chapters twice; once "cold" and once for "real" and record both sections--that way I have an automatic "back up" from which to patch. The two wording errors appeared in both takes this time--go figure). Thanks for your PL.

Clever of you to record it twice, even if it didn't help this time. I'm considering doing the same thing.

Halfway home indeed! I'm jealous. I'm only on chapter 6 of 23 on my solo. :)

Many thanks. You just picked a bigger solo (so you could save the small stuff for inexperienced folks like me.)

Feeling a bit intimidated this morning (it will pass quickly). Went to get some material to redo the blurb on this little book, (and also to get some key words together) and found out it has been deemed (by the international powers who decide such things) culturally significant and has already been reprinted in order to preserve it. (The copies have almost entirely sold out.)

Who'd've thought? I thought this was just a nice little read--and fun, too.

Ava--I'll be posting a new blurb and some key words over the weekend.

Thank you both for your help. I really appreciate it.

Philip :D

Ava:
I have re-written the paragraph describing the book for the template as well as provided some key words and updated the list of genres. I hope these are ok. At an appropriate time, they are ready to be inserted in the template.

Many thanks,

Philip

"I am of the company of book men who read simply for the love of it," confesses E. Walter Walters, in this gently written tome. Walters documents his habit of "book fishing--" seeking and finding quality volumes in the discount binds at his booksellers, and as a connoisseur of wine might match varieties with courses, he matches his books with the contexts in which he reads them--in the garden, in the bedroom, with friends. He also provides a list of his favorite authors (mostly 19th century United Kingdom) and favorite books, as well as favorite characters from the books he has read, not in a way to impose his choices on other readers, but to share his own personal experiences. (Dr. P. Gould)

Key Words
Book Collecting, Recreational Reading, 19th Century Literature (United Kingdom)

Genres
Crafts & Hobbies, Essays and Short Works, Writing and Linguistics

I've updated the database accordingly, thank you.

It's not strictly necessary, but if you want to update the first post you can do it yourself - just click the "edit" button :wink:
Cheers, Ava.

Tom: Chapter 8 is posted in the MW. I've been slightly slowed by a sore throat this week--but I think this is ok (except maybe for the occasional bobble.)

Ava: Thanks for the updates!

Many thanks to you both.
