I think the chapter titltes will be sufficient and I think that when we have to break this into multiple parts for length then just saying 'section' at the start and avoiding confusions (Section X, Chapter Y, Part Z!) is the best option.

ok thanks for the confirmation

and could I go on with section 3. Runes and Manuscripts Part 2 by A.C. Paues, please ? I am fascinated by the runes script.

Certainly! Your expertise might also be well used in sections 51-54

Hi! I'd like to record Section 55: The Anglo-French Law Language by F.W. Maitland.

I'm new, and I was just cleared for the 1-min test -- this would be my first Librivox recording.

Welcome to Librivox (again), Peppernut!
It would be great to have you record section 55 for this project (English Literature). It looks like you've just passed your 1 minute test recording which means you are ready to go. Don't forget in all future recordings to make any changes that were suggested when you did the test recording (eg: if you needed to amplify, you'll need to do that for every section you submit).

In order to assign a section to you in the Magic Window (MW) of this project, I've entered you into the database of readers. Your reader page is accessible here and a list of your assigned sections is here (you might want to bookmark it). Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit section 55. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!

Some common questions that new readers ask:

• Footnotes: They are optional. You can read all, some or none. An easy way to mark them is to say 'footnote' then read the footnote then say 'end footnote'.
• Quotes: You can mark these by saying 'quote' then reading the quote and then saying 'end quote'. You can decide whether to say quote at all - sometimes it will be clear from context. I'd suggest saying it if the quotation spans multiple sentences.
• Non-English phrases: We do have to read them. You could 1) pronounce it however you want 2) post in this thread and ask for someone to record it for you so you can either mimic it or splice it into your own recording 3) try Forvo for individual words or the sound icon on Google Translate for a text to speech version to copy.
• Roman numerals: Read these as their corresponding number.
• Abbreviations: You can choose to expand these or not to. You could say 'e.g' or 'for example'.
• Heading numbering: Sometimes books use roman numerals and digits for two different levels of headings. I think a good solution to this is to say 'first, second' etc. for roman numeral headings (I, II etc.) and 'one, two' etc. for digit headings (1, 2 etc.).

Is it too early in the game to claim #33 (The Arthurian Legend Part 1 by W. Lewis Jones)?
