Having given up on Wilkie Collins’ Hise and Seek, I thought I’d tackle this late work by Dickens instead.

OK, sure. Robin, can you manage this one, and Bruce, can you review it
when it's ready?

Of course, though with David I doubt there’ll be much management :)

Only if it takes until the end of June. Otherwise I won’t have consistent enough internet.

It’s a long book, it could easily take me until the end of June to finish proof-reading.
But I was expecting that the “manager” of a production would also do the final review. Wouldn’t that be simpler? Or does Alex want as many eyes on a production as possible?

Bruce will you be away from consistent internet for a while? If so then
I won't assign you tasks during that time.

What do you think of this for the cover? A good deal of the action of the book centres around the river Thames, particularly as it passes through London. This is Claude Monet's The Thames Below Westminster.
PD proof is here (but it appears in several other books, too):

Right, sorry, forgot it was this book I said I’d look after 😅
I like it! It was painted 1870 so six years after the book, which means that the rebuilding of the Houses of Parliament was a little further on (completed in 1876). But who’s going to be that picky? PD proof is fine.

I think I’m going to throw this one back into the ocean for someone else to tackle. Other than picking a possible cover, which any else is welcome to, I haven’t done really any work on it for almost a year.
I think I’ll stick to slogging through Boswell with the occasional very easy project for light relief. Until Boswell is done, I won’t tackle any other big projects.

I think I should pick this one up again since no one else has shown any interest and I'm on a self-appointed mission to fill in our missing Dickens' titles. I may be best to start again from scratch, though. And I will reconsider my proposed cover; I think we have enough Monet pictures of London already in the corpus.

I’m still working on this if anyone was wondering! It’s a long book and it’s taking me a while to summon up the required concentration.
