Thanks again for helping with my mistakes. I’m really enjoying this book! May I commit to doing all the rest of the remaining chapters?

BTW, much of this book has very racist themes. Do you think people will judge me? I certainly am not racist, but it was common 100 years ago. I just don’t believe in censoring history.

Hi, thanks for your chapters. Second, no I don't think people would judge. I think this is a product of it's time. If you feel more comfortable, I can add a line about that to the summary and explain that the opinions expressed in the book are not the opinions of those who worked on it.

Hi Audrally, thanks so much for chapter 2. This was fast. Our proof listener would let us know if there is anything to change.
Would you like to continue with chapter 1? Regards,

The volume is 83dB which is too low. We aim for between 86-92 dB but ideally we would like it to be at 89 dB.
In Audacity you will also find the option to amplify under 'effects'.
