Hi, Courtney, I am doing a proofread now for Misha. I'm sorry about whatever is keeping you from doing the projects you wished to complete. I hope there's nothing serious there. Do take care of yourself. Regards, Kim Friedman. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Courtney Stover Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 5:14 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: New Project wanted Kim and all: Due to some unexpected personal troubles, I have unfortunately had to release the Hilda Louis novel Jamie so thoughtfully allowed me to proof. It's listed as hold for Courtney, if anyone is willing to proof. I am not ordinarily someone who releases things, especially such good scans, but my personal situation has become extremely difficult extremely swiftly. There's also a book which is an edited collection of Rosa Luxemburg's writings that Deborah Murrey submitted for me which I have been forced to release. These are both phenomenal scans, and I would be so very greatful if someone would give them good thorough proofs so they can be added to the collection. I can't appologize enough for having to release these and making them someone else's responsibility, especially when I specifically requested to proof them. I kept thinking I could return to them, but that does not seem likely in the forseeable future.
