Frederick Irving Anderson was a New York newspaperman who had a second career writing mystery stories for the "slick" magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post. Set in Ragtime Era New York City, Adventures of the Infallible Godahl is a collection of some of his first stories. Godahl is a clever gentleman thief, who might be thought of as an American version of Raffles or Arsene Lupin. ( Winston Tharp)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record 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!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Chapter [number] of Adventures Of The Infallible Godahl. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "Adventures Of The Infallible Godahl, by Frederick Irving Anderson. [Chapter]"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Chapter [number] of Adventures Of The Infallible Godahl by Frederick Irving Anderson. This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Chapter title]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of Adventures Of The Infallible Godahl, by Frederick Irving Anderson. "
There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes.
Example filename infalliblegodahl_##_anderson_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. infalliblegodahl_01_anderson_128kb.mp3)

I've been having bad seasonal allergy symptoms the past couple of months. A very rainy winter in California following four years of drought created a perfect storm of allergens this spring. But, I'm back in harness and hope to get this project done in the next couple of months. Section 3 is up.

Actually, there are four more, Dave. Since I split section 1 into two parts, I need to have Tricia add another section to the MW. Tricia, are you there?

In future, you can add new sections yourself. Click the Add Section button, and start typing in your reader name (be fast about it - the more characters you enter quickly, the shorter the list will be to choose from). Click on your handle, then fill in whatever other info you want in the section title and notes fields. Voila.
BCs/Soloists cannot delete sections, but they can add them.
Thanks, Tina. You guys are so quick about doing your jobs that it makes me embarrassed to be so long in doing mine. We'll all get there together in the end, though.
