Thanks Tricia and everyone for the updates about my Captain Scott project - great to hear it should be completed for Christmas, thanks so much and compliments of the season to you all!
And then there are "collections". I am so confused.

I thought you might like to see the email that info@ received today, It was in answer to my response to his email wishing to know how to donate.

It's nice to knowFor about two years I have been making CDs from the librivox library and donating them out military services overseas and on ships as well as veterans homes in the Pacific NW. More than a thousand I would guess by now as I don't keep a running tab. This project of mine has been a game changer for me as it has given me a great deal of satisfaction to do this in my senior years. I use the art that comes with the books and make up covers for the cds that slip into the paper envelopes with windows.

...and (besides the cover art use, which is great!) that's more evidence to keep files at audio cd length!

I've made a few CD's to give as gifts myself, and have had to make disk labels for those. I've often thought of adding a disk label template to my printable CD covers template, but it is a bit more work having to reposition the words to fit a circular space, and probably wouldn't get much use.

Thank you, Steven. Glad you liked it. I enjoyed listening to it, despite those awful "sidewinders".

I love how the Christmas Short Works Collection cover has the little characters wearing masks.

I would like to congratulate the cover designers for the last couple of short ghost and horror collections (I think I admired them but forgot to say so, so a belated thank you!). The latest one by Michele is terrifying, and I can't give it a higher compliment than that!

I've already contributed to the sabotage of my win by cataloging another project today. Bring it on.

I'm horrored! Rhaaaaaaaaa! I am constantly amazed how many views the short horror and short story collections rack up. They are definitely among the most popular. And there's a tremendous amount of artwork to choose from.Newgatenovelist wrote: ↑December 22nd, 2020, 3:03 pm I would like to congratulate the cover designers for the last couple of short ghost and horror collections (I think I admired them but forgot to say so, so a belated thank you!).
