Suitability of book?

[Newgatenovelist]

Hello lovely Legamus members,

I'd like to ask about recording a book here. It's called Poems of Puncture, and it's by Amanda McKittrick Ros.

I recently tried to launch a project on Librivox. It was not available online, and the image of the title page does not have a year.

As far as I can work out from looking at the catalogues of British and Irish deposit libraries, the book was originally published in 1912 or possibly 1913. I believe it had a low print run and wasn't reprinted. If anyone wishes to see the title page, it's here:

The Librivox admins said that it was probably okay but expressed concern that, if I were to record it for Librivox, that might set a precedent for other works without clear dates of publication. Recording it here was suggested as a possible solution. So, after all of that, I'd like to ask if it would be okay to record it here. If you have any questions or need a different image, please ask.

That sounds completely fine to me -- we work off date of death (unless there's obvious complications such as the book not having been published in the author's lifetime.) In this case, it's pretty straightforward though.

Ah, thank you. That makes sense. I thought it would be a bit complicated, since it's a more obvious 'fit' for Librivox, but I'm glad it isn't too tricky! I'll launch it soon.
