The Strange Case of Miss Annie Spragg by Louis Bromfield (1896 - 1956)

Volunteers outside the USA: Louis Broomfield died in 1956. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
I have not read this book yet though presuming by the chapter titles this sounds like a suspenseful crime story, mixed with a splash of romance. This book is in the public domain. (Summary by adr6090)

Good Morning to you. There is not a magic window until an MC chooses to be part of this project. Usually it doesn't take long until one decides to be the MC. Thank you for your interest, keep checking back. :wink:

Thank you. I think that it is okay with me if you do not get the mw set until Monday.

MW's are easy to put together, and I have time now! Do you have a DPL in mind, or do I need to put a ~ in the subject line?

Question for you Ann. Scrolling through the text for this book I noticed that there are a few "sub-chapters", i.e I, II, III, etc. Should the reader just say then when they appear? Would not wish for the text to not be fully represented. What do you think?

I normally would include those subchapter numbers, just because they do show a change in the direction of the story. But, it is up to you as BC.

No problem! You are out, and a ~ is in the subject line to let people know that we need a DPL.
