IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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!

Your MW is in place. As soon as you fill it out, I will move us to Going Solo. A couple of things to note:
1. For future, please always use the url of the format selection page in gutenberg which precedes the page on which the book starts. I have changed it to that.
2. You got the author's name wrong throughout. It is Conwell, not Cornwell. I fixed them all I think. No worries, I have made this error before myself.
Best,
Christine
