bup’s comments from the Librivox group.

I guess you need to be the group mod to do that?

I know there's a list for Best LibriVox books - but I found a list called Best Free Audiobooks - http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/41...

I'll be listing some excellent LibriVox stuff there. I got Paul Coelho's The Alchemist, and what's-his-face's The World is Flat for free as promotions - I wonder if they count...

>>I have to disagree about using identical cover images. It defies the very purpose of cover images: to uniquely identify a book.

Well, there are plenty of book series out in meat world that have nearly identical covers - where the series is very strongly branded, and the only way to tell a book apart is by reading the title. That's especially true with audiobooks (at least at my library). But, good point.

Those graphics you made are nice. I think what I could do is take a 'standard' LibriVox graphic and attach it to public domain images when I create a book, if I can find a public domain image.

What do other people think?

I became a librarian at goodreads, mostly with the intent of standardizing some Librivox books, because some books from the site are fantastic.

What do people think of having a 'standard' name for a bookshelf for librivox books? I was thinking the bookshelf name could be librivox (brilliant, right?).

Also, in creating librivox editions of books here, what if everybody used the same image? Specifically, the image associated with this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35...

If anybody has created a LibriVox edition of a book, and it's not combined with all the other versions, I'd be happy to combine them.
