Certainly, Betty! Sections 0 and 2 are all yours. Thank you for claiming!

In the intro for section 0, please read "Preface of...." instead of "Section 0"

That would be wonderful! Yes, please do. You don't have to read along on the text as you listen, but please make sure that the intro and outro at the beginning matches what is in the first post (under the magic window -- that scrolling window with all the sections and links). If you notice anything strange, such as repeats or long pauses (say, 5 seconds or longer), please note down the time stamp to let the reader know.

Please let us know if you have any questions -- and welcome to Librivox, we are so happy that you are here! :thumbs:
