          <body><![CDATA[For book covers, I have been creating a cover that includes both the LibriVox logo and the original book cover (when it is available as part of the html version of the text on Project Gutenberg.) Here are some examples: <br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6772127-it-s-like-this-cat" title="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6772127-it-s-like-this-cat">http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67721...</a><br/><br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6277449.The_Adventures_of_Maya_the_Bee" title="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6277449.The_Adventures_of_Maya_the_Bee">http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62774...</a><br/><br/>Otherwise, I think it is also important for the book titles to be standardized so that LibriVox books can be easily located. I have been consistently adding &quot;(LibriVox Audio)&quot; at the end of the titles that I create. This follows the pattern used by Goodreads to identify different editions.<br/>]]></body>
