Hokuspokus,

Just noticed your compliment of my first upload - thanks!

I have uploaded another - this one is for The People of the Abyss.

thanks and Happy New Year,

Thank you for the covers, Nicholas and penthorpe

Both are added to the catalogue.

Hello,

I've uploaded five more covers:
Invisible Links, The South Pole,
The Life of the Spider, Japanese Fairy Tales
and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

thanks,

penthorpe

Thank you for the covers, penthorpe.
I'm working on it.

All covers added.

They are beautiful. I especially like the one for Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Thank you

I just wish I could find more good sites (besides Wikimedia Commons) for public domain images - any thoughts?

Have a look here:
http://www.zeno.org/Kunstwerke

They are all pd in Germany, so you have to check that the "Entstehungsjahr" is before 1923.

Edited to add: Sometimes it is worth looking in the html version of the Gutenberg text for illustrations.

Yes I was going to suggest that. There are some books with MANY illustrations in them.

This page has all the original illustrations from Jules Verne's books!

Some of these covers are absolutely beautiful!
But is anyone doing faceplates or whatever the correct name is?
(I mean to go on the actual CD rather than in the jewel case)
Sorry if I've missed them but couldn't see any on an initial search.

Hi,

I do them for covers I create, like :

Hi there,

Just stumbled on this project on LibriVox yesterday. I was immediately inspired to adapt my already existing cover I had printed for a CD I had burned for my wife. It's here:

https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B_wRGKVVQxjwZDE1MmNjYTYtYjY4NS00NGUyLWFiOGEtMWU5ZjBjNGJiYjlk&hl=en

Not sure how to share it officially with the LibriVox community and have not had time to go through the 33 pages of this thread.

Hi Michael,

posting the Link to the pdf is exactly the right way to share the cover. I will take care of the rest.
The cover looks really beautiful.
But before I go on, on the bottom of the first page it says
"CDCover and Inserts by Michel Wolf"
I guess you want to add the missing "a" first.

I've uploaded a cover for The Arabic Hidden Words at http://drop.io/librivox

LibriVox recording link:

Yowza! Template has been corrected. Can't imagine why I messed that up... Thanks for spotting that.

And I've added another one as well:

1. Persuasion by Jane Austen (Read by Karen Savage = Version 4)
https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B_wRGKVVQxjwZTM2ODc5ZTItYTE2Mi00ZjdjLTlhMmUtM2NhNmNmYTI2ZmRl&hl=en

2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Read by Karen Savage = Version 2)
https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B_wRGKVVQxjwMzJlMTIxMDItOGNjYS00MDZlLTkyOTAtNzY0ZDRhZDM4NmI3&hl=en

I can also furnish you with small JPGs (300 x 300 and 150 x 150 thumbnail) if you want, but I don't know where to upload those. Google.docs won't let you upload JPG files.

These two I made because my wife fell in love with Karen's version of Persuasion and has carefully inquired about her version of Pride and Prejudice too. But I won't rule out making more templates for my own projects. It's pretty easy to reuse the template and tweak it.

BTW: On my computer, the Google.doc PDF viewer does slightly distort the PDF. It looks a little better when you actually download the file.
