Just waiting on a few readers to complete a couple of other recipe books, so thought I'd lunch these short ones.

OK, we are all ready to go. I have a young person who is wanting to start PL'ing. I will send her here, since this is a nice short project, and you do a great job mentoring new DPL's. Hopefully she will come!

Thanks for setting this up, Ann. I've kept the sections short intentionally, so this book should go quickly..
Glad to welcome a ne proof listener, so you can put her in and then we are ready for readers. :)

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. :D
This should be an easy project to proof listen.
The book itself is short, and I've kept the sections short.
Be sure to read our Guide for Proof-listeners.
I will also send you a private message with some of the tips I've found useful after hundreds of hours of proof listening.

Let me know if you have any questions and always feel free to ask questions, either here or via PM

Looking forward to working with you! :D
