The updated files have been spot-checked and all OK, except for section 36: chapter 30; I noticed it ends "end of chapter 31" instead of 30. will it be an easy 'copy - paste' fix?

There are two versions of the book. I took the chapter titles from one of them.
Anyone can read accurately. [i]I[/i] read with great expression.

I think my edit on my post didn't go through. Sorry for the confusion! I realized after looking through the thread that there were two texts. I edited my question to say that the second version of the text had longer titles. Did you pick one of the items out of the list for each chapter?

How did you pronounce the name of Captain Faucon?
Edit: Well, I picked a pronunciation (FOW-con). If this is incorrect, please correct me. I'd like it to be consistent. Section 48 is uploading now.

I think it was fAW con (as in AWWW,) It probably doesn't matter THAT much. I had Dan-a for the first part of the book and DAY-na for the second part. It's one of those things that I'd go back and fix eventually. If I do find the time, should I edit the minutes thing or just leave it? How much trouble would it be to re upload? And I probably won't, because I'm trying to learn perfection is not achievable in this life.

Actually, that's pretty much how I pronounced Foucon - both the A sound like in "father."
I edited the "minutes" thing. See this post: viewtopic.php?p=889793#p889793
It isn't perfect, but better than "feet."
So once the last two sections are PL'd, I'll catalog this!

Great!!
A couple of PL notes:
Section 47 starts "Epilogue Part 1" instead of part 2,
and an optional edit at ~21:48 where the text "don andre" was read as "son andre"
Section 48 is PL OK, but the file needs renaming, because it has a date-stamp attached.

GAH! Great, thanks for the catches!
I'll fix these, then upload them directly to the validator in the cataloging process.

Oh, my gosh Trisha, you are amazing! I would like to read another book eventually, just not when I'm in school. Thank you so much for taking care of my pet.

I'm late to this thread, but Catchpenny, I gather you did the heavy lifting and then your schedule got away from you and TG dashed off the ending sections?
I seldom listen to group projects anymore because I count on the vocal consistency, but since TG is a well-known voice to me I went ahead to sample, and I am so glad I did!
I always preview a section before downloading the whole, to be sure I can absorb the reader's voice, and I SO hope you will do more recording when you are able. You have a light but steady touch on interpreting the text that is admirable, and a lovely voice to do it with.
Great job, Team!!! Go Librivox!
