OK, Emma will manage with Weijia reviewing.

It looks like there is a 1919 cover that is in the public domain.

Ok, noted.

[Szymon Szott]

Thanks Emma for finding that cover! The only higher resolution version I could find online is this:

So, to use this cover I'd need to crop, upscale and remove the imperfections?

[Emma Sweeney]

Yep! Send a cover mockup when you're done to make sure it looks good. I'll go ahead and add the cover to the art DB and reserve it for this production.

Thanks Emma, I'll get back to the cover after finishing proofreading. Meanwhile, I have a question about the file structure. The book's subtitle is "A Story Between Two Notes" and Conrad uses two "notes" (short chapters) at the beginning ("First Note") and end ("Second Note") as a framing device. (These two notes are separate from the author's preface.) Within, there are five parts, each part with several chapters. Since the two notes are outside the part and chapter numbering scheme, can I simply name the files first-note.xhtml and second-note.xhtml and arrange the spine accordingly?

The first note and second note seem like a prologue and an epilogue. Name the files `prologue.xhtml` and `epilogue.xhtml` with matching file semantics.

The part files should be named `part-#.xhtml` and the chapter files `chapter-#-#.xhtml`. The parts shouldn't contain a `data-parent` attribute, since the notes and parts should be on the same level in the ToC.
