Well, the spelling of Vampire/Vampyre is neither here nor there for the recording itself, though it matters for the catalogue.
And as for the author(s), I don't know whom to credit (either Prest or Rymer or both) -- and also don't know which version of Prest's middle name to use (if he is to be credited).
So I need some guidance from those more expertful than I.
But no rush; I have a few other projects to finish before vivifying this vamp.
Thank you...LJB
Just adding my input here: use whichever spelling is on the text you read from. Or not. It’s up to you, but I’d suggest you do.
As far as co-authors are concerned, I’d read both names, and, again, as on the version you use. But Kevin, you can only put one in the metadata, so you will know Prest is already in the database (as he is credited in the other version). I don’t know about the other guy, but I’d go with Prest for simplicity.

OK, so here is My Executive Decision:
I will be reading from PGutenberg, so it will be "Varney the Vampire" by both "Thomas Preskett Prest" and "James Malcolm Rymer."

Thanks for the cogitations, Lynne & Kevin...LJB

I'm told that bran is good for cogitation.

O -- and just to be clear, because these old tomes have plenty of upfront verbiage, here is what I propose to say after the initial title/disclaimer:
"Varney the Vampire: or, The Feast of Blood: A Romance."
"CHAPTER I."
"How graves give up their dead. / And how the night air hideous grows/ With shrieks!"
"MIDNIGHT.—THE HAIL-STORM.—THE DREADFUL VISITOR.—THE VAMPYRE."
"The solemn tones of an old cathedral clock have announced...." [...and continue with the text itself...]

Foon has Section 6 (F) right? Well we can't hand her an F, because she got an A+ on this one. PL OK!

The reading for section 5 (E), was E. It's a new grade I came up with, which beats the A+, because well, it's the first letter in my name

<mrgreen> But seriously, the reading was really nice!

However, there is a slight, tiny problem with the file name. It should be https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/atozed_00_various_128kb.mp3 (or in this case 05). Yours has been uploaded as https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/appliedpsychologyfornurses_05_porter_128kb.mp3.

For that reason I have to mark it see PL notes. Sorry.

E stands for excellent, I think. J stands for...?
