Author's account of travels through Algeria, Tunisia, Tripoli and the Sahara Desert with stories about the people, climate, industry and culture. ( BettyB)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Chapter [number] of From Tangier to Tripoli. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "From Tangier to Tripoli, by Frank G. Carpenter. [Chapter]"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Chapter [number] of From Tangier to Tripoli by Frank G. Carpenter. This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Chapter title]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
.
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of From Tangier to Tripoli, by Frank G. Carpenter. "
There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
.
Example filename tangiertotripoli_##_carpenter_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. tangiertotripoli_01_carpenter_128kb.mp3)

I am rather baffled by the link not working.
I have triple-checked it for errors and this is the address of the title page of the book.
Any thoughts? MW Filled in...
Well, I'm baffled. I can search on Hathi trust and find it, but none of the links I copy over will work, including the permanent link on the lower left of the page.
But, I see that it is in Wheaton College Library. I may go over and check for a hard copy, just out of curiosity (and to see what in on the shelf next to it).
I see that Wheaton College has an original copy of this book, in the special collections library where I've been studying for grad school! How about if I see if I can get a good scan of the book cover to use for the LV cover.
Thank you for the listening. It is quite interesting to read these chapters.
People that were so important 100 years ago are virtually unknown today.
We had quite a windfall of Carpenter books on Monday. At least five I think,
Betty
