Re: Archy and Mehitabel

I'm sorry about the three year gap. My Librivox solo ... a textbook on chemical assaying methods .. has both taken a lot of my time and had dulled my enthusiasm a little. I've been rereading the Archy poems and would like to get going. I've ordered a couple of copies of Archy and Mehitabel (publishe...

Re: Archy and Mehitabel

Cori noticed my archy and mehitabel books when she came to my flat for the U.K. chapter meeting last month. She's said that she'd like to share this project with me. I'll start scanning the book over the next week, and will set up the project once we've got something to read. Thanks, everyone. Peter

Re: Archy and Mehitabel

It's Archy and Mehitabel, plus illustrations by George Herriman, plus an introduction by E.B. White. That's all. The two small collections of these poems that I already have are, as near as I can tell, identical to two out of the three sections that this book is divided into. That is, I have "A...

Archy and Mehitabel

The author, don Marquis, died in 1937. I have a copy, "the life and times of archy and mehitabel", copyright 1950 (though this may apply only to the particular selection, the introduction by E.B. White, who died fairly recently, or to the illustration). It's quite a long book, with much mo...

Re: Templates, tech specs and so on

I probably won't be able to record for a while, as I have two longish solos going on LV. One thing: if we're using keywords instead of formal genres, I think it would help if we had an accessible list of keywords that are already in use, posssibly divided into relevant blocks. It would make searchin...
