> now putting out 60-70 books a month, we have a
> catalog of 1,000 works, which represents a little
> over 6 months of *continuous* audio; we have some
> 1,500 volunteers who have contributed audio to the
> project; and a catalog that includes Jane Austin's
> "Pride and Prejudice," "Moby Dick," Darwin's "Origin
> of the Species," "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,"
> Einstein's "Relativity: The Special and General
> Theory," Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason," and other
> less well-known gems such as "Romance of Rubber"
> edited by John Martin. We have recordings in 21
> languages, and about half of our recordings are solo
