That was a major milestone being recognized like that. I do a lot with project Gutenberg books and love seeing the old books. I am pleased they recognize your value as well.

It’s fantastic. An step further into the global access to knowledge. It took me quite a long time to discover the work of Librivox, what was being done here. Now, being included in PG, much more people will be able to discover librivox, and so much more people will be able to cooperate, and in a short time, the catalogue of librivox will increase enormously.

Congratulations!

Unfortunately, due to how the automated catalog system works, I can’t get the chapter listings to appear on the catalog page you look at (or at least, so I’m told by the folks that run that part of the system). So, I did the next best thing. Starting with the Marvelous Land of Oz (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/19466), the text file, with all the legal mumbo-jumbo, now also contains a chapter listing pulled from the Librivox catalog page.

I also humbly suggest that people wanting to grab the files, click on the “Base Directory /files/19466/” link. It takes you to a directory style listing that is probably easier to understand (for one thing, you see file names that way, and they are sequentially numbered).

Please feel free to send us feedback on improvements you’d like to see.

alex, i think they are just figuring out how this works, just starting the process, so there will be improvements.

This is very good news. I’ve been adding LV recordings to Wikipedia for quite some time. If you do it the right way, your links will remain there forever!

Wow, that’s fantastic. Next stop, wikipedia.

Kink #1 – if there’s to be a separate link to each chapter, it would help to have it labelled as such.
