Well, Dave, we're done after 5 months, and I thank you for sticking with me through the whole thing. This is my first "standard" project, and it seems totally weird you didn't call a single error, (though I can't believe there weren't any). And you being the first person to listen to my rendition, I'm just dying to know, how did I do? How am I to listen to? What is your impression of the book? Did it grab you? Did you find it as incendiary as the public thinks it is? Did it make some good points? Did I deliver them well? And so on. Yes, I really do want feedback!

Personally, I think if one or two excessively derogatory pages and some biting scattered phrases could be removed, this book could take its place in our libraries. Not that I'm advocating censorship, as I think despite its affrontery it is a fairly accurate presentation of the two extremes of thought at the time on "the race question".

I really enjoyed the project and, with some encouragement, might look into recording the other 2 books in the trilogy. It really helped that you PL'd each section without delay. :D

Phil, I'm working on the CD Cover. I won't be able to post it until I have a correct run time. Should I add up what's in the MW or will you give me the total after cataloguing?

OK, I'll PM you, but in a nutshell, it's been very instructive for me to peer into Mr. Dixon's mindset, and learn what he thinks has motivated America's racial history. I know so little about it, and it is a persistent problem to this day that I hope we can put behind us.

Thanks, Phil and Dave, for seeing this project through with me. You were both super! I've submitted the cover over at the CD Covers thread, awaiting approval as it's my first cover. And I'll be checking the Completed Projects thread today to make sure the project is posted over there.
