Sections 14-17 are PL ok.
Section 18
16:14 should be "with ominous, world-shaking syllables that the ear can never seize"; I heard "with ominous, world-shaking syllables that the earth can never seize"

I'm trying to understand your title because another reader queried me - is this all the writings from the 2-year run ? For example you mention Lovecraft in your summary but I can't see anything from him ? And "the collected writings" implies they are all there to me.

It's Clark Ashton Smith's collected writings from Fantasy Fan. Honestly I tried to figure out a title for it for a while. At first I had it as The Collected Writings from Fantasy Fan Magazine of Clark Ashton Smith by Clark Ashton Smith but that seemed really long and redundant. I also thought about The Fantasy Fan Magazine: The Complete Clark Ashton Smith. If you have suggestions I'm open. I know the title might be construed as confusing.

Or maybe it may be clearer to just reword the summary so it's more clear that these are just all of Clark Ashton Smith's stories. I really don't want to have to re-record the intro and outro of every track all over again for a title change.

I just re-tooled the summary. Hopefully it's much more clear that these are just Smith's writings and not everything from the magazine.

Looks good to me.

Thanks - that makes more sense to me - I wasn't suggesting you change the intros. Titles can become difficult on nonstandard projects.
I don't usually trespass in others' threads - sorry Phil, I just needed to know.

No problem at all Anne and thank you. You concern is a valid one and I like the summary better since the minor rewrite. You are welcome to make suggestions and comments any time on my projects because I like outside opinions and yours are always pertinent and helpful. (as are you

)

Should be fixed now!

Thanks, Phil. Just one more thing. Can you add the updated summary to the catalog page? It looks like it still has the old one that annise had concerns about.

And something I needed to do! It should be updated now, if not just give me another nudge.
