Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers

[AReinhard]

Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers is considering producing Readings from Wheelock's Latin as an MP3 product. We were wondering if Wheelock students would appreciate the files in this format (either sold separately as a CD of .mp3 files or as a secure digital download), or if they had already converted their four CDs to MP3 on their own. Please let us know what you think!

For those of you who are not familiar with this Wheelock title, Readings from Wheelock's Latin is:

"A 4-CD audio package, with recitation (in Restored Classical Pronunciation)of all vocabulary and paradigms for the 40 chapters of Wheelock's Latin, as well as dramatic readings of Sententiae Antiquae and narrative passages in the 40 chapters, and lively performances of brief representative selections from the Loci Antiqui. Wheelock's Latin is America's best-selling introductory college-level Latin text, with sales for the Series package (basal text, Workbook, and Reader) totalling over 50,000 copies per year; production of the proposed audio CD package is timed to coincide with release of the new 6th Edition, Revised, of the text, which, with its new hardback edition, online audio for vocabulary, and online teacher's guide, will likely experience further growth in sales, including an expanded secondary-school market."
