"...Two of the books I’m sitting on at LV (both are way past 1923) simply would not exist at all if not directly for your sleuthing about copyright limitations on McCarthy’s work. At least one I suspect you’ll probably take an interest in..."

I am always interested!

My next project might not be a Librivox recording, I am thinking of dictating a book written by a friend who is a USMC LTCOL (Ret.) who recounts his experiences when he served in Vietnam...I will enjoy reading it aloud.

You will certainly do your friend proud and I hope that once it is available that it sells well. One thing that is often lost with these recountings of events is the power of the spoken word - an enhancement you can bring with the mic. They often times only get written, published, and that’s the end of it.

There will be expressions he will want to emphasize that are not always possible in text or are just simply more natural when directed by the original story teller. You can make that happen. Will he be working with you as you go chapter by chapter to make sure those feelings are to a certain degree brought to the surface?

It should be really good, especially now that you’ve had numerous books’ worth of experience and practice.
