I was just looking at my account and noticed that I had PL notes on this one let me look it over. Some reason I did not get an email or over looked it.

Hi Larry -

PL Feedback -

Great reading - at 2:23 to 2:41 you read the description below the photograph. That should not be included. Please remove, export and re-upload with a new time.
After that it should be PL OK

Lynda

Well it's back to the mic I guess. Since I did not see the email on this and assumed it was all good, I removed the file. I read the chapter from this which has no photograph so you will have to tell me what to cut out that I read please. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/39237/39237-h/39237-h.htm#CHAPTER_XL I tried to see if there was an online converter from MP3 to AUP. I might have an idea

I have the box checked to notify me when a new reply is received, must have just missed it sorry

I have never read from actual scanned pages in Librivox before, it makes it harder for me to read that is why I prefer the html txt

Hi Larry -

It looks like I got your Chapter 40 mixed up in my notes with another book I was PL'ing (another Chapter 40) as you are right, the HTML version of this book (1st on the list) is what I use to PL and it does not have images in it.

So I have re-listened to your Chapter 40 today and it is PL OK!

Sorry about the confusion!

Lynda

Hi , I will take 36 if that is to be orphaned. Just let me know.

KevinS and Geoffbl -

33 and 36 need to be orphaned - you are right!

I will assign them to you respectively in Mary Ann's absence and when she gets back we can have a New Year's present for her with the book completed!

Thank you Geoff.

If you like the author, he has several other books listed here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=70911

Would you like to do one of those as a solo or group project?

Sorry Lynda. But many thanks for all the work you've done on this project! It is great to have it so near completion.
