Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/45303

Target completion date:

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I've been meaning to ask: does it sound redundant to open with "Chapter #" and then after the LibriVox disclaimer, repeat "Chapter #" again before the chapter summary? I keep going back and forth about it in my mind, and my inner perfectionist can't decide which one is most appropriate.

It sounds perfectly fine to me.

It sounds perfectly fine to me. I think it would help me, as a listener, remember where I am in the book.
