======== Subject: Project Gutenberg Etexts for June, 1997 From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org> To: Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com> Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 10:58:15 -0500 (CDT) This is a very short Project Gutenberg Newsletter announcing June's Etexts Our prairienet.org fileservers will be down for perhaps a week, starting on Friday, so we had to get everything posted now, so they would get to our mirror sites before the downtime. Our other sites, listed below, should have them all posted by Friday. The Lost Pricess of Oz may be missing a page or two, if you have that book in a paper edition, please let me know, and I will get more info. I also need to hear from people who can help us proofread Dante in both Italian and English. Thanks so much, Michael S.
