Audible cash prices are never hard-coded here: Amazon permits displayed prices only via its API with a timestamp, so this row is always “1 credit / check price”.
Listening note
From the Project Gutenberg Open Audiobook Collection (Project Gutenberg + Microsoft + MIT), as listed on the live AI page. Length is approximate, as listed on the live site (~ figure) — confirm against the store/archive listing at refresh. EDITION NOTE: same work, different recording — Audible's Dracula (Audible Original, full-cast, HUMAN narration) is a separate record on this site (dracula-audible-original). The two editions are kept separate and never merged.
