Setting this up for you now.

And done. Let me know if you need anything else.

[silverquill]

Thanks for setting this up, Lynnet!

MW filled out and we are ready for readers.

Hi,

I would like to claim a section. How about section 1, Introduction: History?

Thanks

Mark 512

[mark512]

Sorry - newbie here. Looks pretty short, so I think I can take the first 3 sections.

Well, I'd be glad to have you make your LibriVox debut here!
Just let me know how you would like to be listed in the LV catalog -- real name, pseudonym, or any nickname you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.

This book is a little tricky because it does rely on illustrations a lot. Please refer to the nots in the Magic Window for instructions for these sections. Read only the designated footnotes, but omit the parts that refer to illustrations, since that wouldn't make sense to the listeners. There is the one picture caption for Section 3 to read, but read it at the end. I just think it will flow better to do that. For footnotes, use the format, "footnote . . . . end footnote."

Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thanks for joining this project!

Welcome back!
You're still in the catalog under that name, so you're all set.
You are assigned Section 4
Thank you!

Thanks - you can list me as Mark512 for the LV catalog.

As for footnotes, please clarify one thing for me. I did record the Intro History Section 1 and will upload shortly. There were no footnotes noted for reading in the Magic Window. Upon looking at section 2 however, it looks like you'd like footnotes 1,2,3 and 5 read. The footnotes for section 2 (overview, what is radiation?) start with footnote #5, so perhaps the instruction for reading footnotes 1,2,3 were for the history section 1?

Thanks!

Thank you!
Sorry for the confusion about the footnotes, but you are correct -- none for this section.
This is very well read, and I'm glad to mark it PL OK.

I do have one observation and suggestion. While normal breath sounds are to be expected, the are several places where there a lip smacks that are a bit distracting, so something to be aware of in recording. Then there is one place where there is an extraneous "sniff" that you might want to edit out, at about 7:45. An example of a lip smack can be found at about 6:38, and there are a few other places that I didn't mark. These are optional corrections, but if you do them, just upload the new file under the same name and post link and time here again.

Thanks again for your good reading.
