Hart Cc: john@gutenberg.us; gbnewby@pglaf.org; editor@pg-news.org Subject: September news from PG Canada Dear Michael: Here's the news from PG Canada for September. We published a total of 13 ebooks during the month: we have now published a cumulative total of 177 ebooks. The New Releases section at the top of the PGC main page always gives the details of new releases for the most recent three months. LANGUAGES: - 5 titles were in English - 8 were in French GENRES - 7 of the books were novels (the 7 ebooks represented 5 novels, since we published Henry Gréville's "Les Koumiassine" in two parts, and followed the same course with "Le moulin Frappier"). - 1 was a children's book - 1 was a collection of poems - 1 was an issue of a literary magazine - 3 were non-fiction: a collection of essays, a book of history, and a biography One of PG Canada's objectives is to have a strong collection of ebooks in French. We were delighted that this month an actual majority of the new titles we offered are in French! Five of this month's ebooks were by Canadians. One of the highlights of the month was the completion of our collection of major works by the eminent novelist, poet, dramatist, and translator Pamphile Le May (1837-1918): we now offer no fewer than 18 of his works. We published four novels in our continuing series of novels by Henry Gréville (1842-1902). Authors and illustrators new to PGC this month included: Charlesworth, Hector Willoughby (1872-1945) [Canadian journalist and essayist] Garneau, François-Xavier (1809-1866) [Historien et poète canadien] Graham, George Rex (1813-1894) [Publisher] *************** Thanks as ever for your support! Mark
