Subject: Can I lend you a bit of a hand?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello there.
I am a bit of a busy man myself, but I love the old lone wolf series and I 
would like to know if you have anyone writing the text for Book 20 (The Curse 
of Naar) yet..

I have a paperback copy of this book and I was thinking that I could write it 
down into notepad.
I am uncertain as to how much I would be able to do - however this small task 
will SAVE YOU TIME.

Is there an email address that I can email with the notepad attachment?

Thankyou for your time. (If my little contribution can help enrich the lives of 
others... I will be more than happy) :-D

Sincerely: James Chown

Hi James

I really must apologise for taking so long to respond, but there was a genuine reason: the Project Aon websrever was being migrated to another host, which meant that the Assignments List, which displays what work is required for each title, was offline, and has only just come available again.

With regards to your query, The Curse of Naar has been fully OCRed, so we do not require anyone to type out the text. However, if you are amenable and your circumstances allow you enough time, we do require Sections 141-210 and 281-350 of the book to be proofread. Although these sections have been assigned, nothing has been received from the assignees for some time, so we can safely assume they are currently too busy to complete their assignments.

Proofreading means checking the raw OCR text against a copy of the original book. We are publishing the full unabridged copies of the Grand Master books, so you really would need an unabridged version of The Curse of Naar to do this. (Basically, if it has 350 numbered sections, it is unabridged.)

More information about proofreading for Project Aon can be found here:

http://www.projectaon.org/sanctum/howto-proofread.htm

If you feel you would like to do this, you can find the raw OCRed text on the Assignments page of the Project Aon website here:

http://www.projectaon.org/en/Sanctum/Assignments

Just select the link for The Curse of Naar, and the sections still in need to proofreading are linked to under the title heading.

We certainly appreciate your generous offer of your time, and once again, I apologise for taking so long to respond.

Kind regards,
