I've noticed that as NLS has been adding unabridged audio books by Brilliance to its catalog, there's a female voice at the beginning reading the title and Library of Congress annotation as well as the closing schpiel of when it was put into digital format. I believe this female voice to be Martha Harmon Pardi. What do you guys think?

I used to hate that in the '90's when I'd purchase a book on tape. That's why I love NLS. Any reason why NLS is putting more commercial books out there than having their readers read them?

Plus, it was kind of a kick to hear one member of the cast perform their cast mates' characters (e.g., Riker or Crusher do Picard or Worf; Sulu do Spock. Only one that was out of place was Scotty trying to do Wof and Data. You could tell he'd never seen the show because he read Data like he's a robot; so I'm guessing he read the book before they filmed the episode.)
