PG Monthly Newsletter (2015-04-02)

This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for March & April 2015

CONTENTS

The World Public Library (www.worldpubliclibrary.org) operates the Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing Press at http://self.gutenberg.org

The Self-Publishing Press has thousands of eBooks from contemporary authors, on many topics. New books are always welcome!

Recently, the Press has been improved to link in encyclopedia entries and other discovery tools for authors, titles and subjects. This adds some great ways to navigate, browse and discover books. It also brings additional third-party content right to the search page, which can be helpful for students and others seeking additional information.

Copyright Term Extensions are Looming!

In our September 2014 newsletter, we wrote about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). This is an international initiative, being negotiated in secret, which will have far-reaching impacts in many areas of trade, copyright, and more.

We urge all fans of Project Gutenberg to learn about this initiative, and speak with lawmakers and others about your concerns. Spread the word to your friends and family, who might not be aware of the downward pressure on wages and job security that the TPP would bring about.

This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for January 2015

Welcome to the first newsletter of 2015. This is Project Gutenberg’s 44th year!

Thanks to Christina Heal, who reminded us that 2015 will be the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland. There will be lots of rereleases.

Your humble newsletter editor (Greg N.) remembers the first eBook he ever heard of: It was sometime in 1987 or so, while I was a student at SUNY Albany. My friend emailed me a copy of the “Millenium Fulcrum” edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which became Project Gutenberg’s eBook #11: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11
