Editorial
Hello,
An opportunity to voice your opinion this week in the PG website
design contest with some fine entries, I would recommend taking a look
just to see the quality of entries. A short newsletter this week -
sometimes real life just gets in the way, but expect a two part A to Z
starting next week on the letter 'T'.
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.

Also this week,
Many thanks to Steve Beach for setting up a bittorrent of the "Best of
Project Gutenberg" cd.
The bittorrent is hosted at http://www.thebeachfamily.org, and can be
downloaded at
http://www.thebeachfamily.org/torrents/status.html,
or, for the impatient, can be had at
http://www.thebeachfamily.org/torrents/PG2003-08.ISO.torrent.
-----------------
Just a reminder that, our very own Brett Fishburne has created a
Project Gutenberg group on the SETIhome website
(http://setiathome.berkeley.edu). Anyone interesting in using their
screensaver to search for aliens can go to the website, join the
effort and then JOIN THE GROUP! Brett informs me that there is now a
version of SETI for the MAC, so you have no excuse.
Radio Gutenberg Update

channel 1 - Sherlock Holmes "The Sign of Four"
channel 2 - Robert Sheckley's "Bad Medicine"
Both are high quality live readings from the collection.
Testing of Radio Gutenberg audio books on demand is currently taking

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Courier New or similar.

name of a certain popular file compression program as the filename

order to circumvent this problem, as a temporary measure, we are
replacing that extension with ".zip" in the listings below. We are
working towards a permanent solution. Thank you for your patience.

Editorial
Hello,
Well, following a very exciting Thursday watching the Posted list to
find out just how many books and languages would arrive from DP-EU we
have the answer below, along with a small summary of one of the many
events Michael Hart attended whilst in Europe and the letter 'U' makes
an appearance. All resemblance to Sesame Street ends at this point!
We also have some reader correspondence on the Australian copyright
issue. We would be interested to hear more.
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.
2) News and Comment
Project Gutenberg at the European Parliament
Below we present a summary written by Arnaud Herve.
A meeting was held yesterday in H1, about the Project Gutenberg, which
is basically the main free library on Internet.
Project Gutenberg concerns litterature, philosophy, sciences works,
etc. , not exactly software, and in that sense it is more akin to the
Creative Commons license topic than to alternative exploitation
systems for example.
The meeting was chaired by MP Johanna Boogerd, and the main speaker
was Michael Hart, American founder of project Gutenberg. I was warmly
welcomed without even having to mention my political group.
Michael Hart made me reflect on how much this endeavour was
ideologically related to the first days of Internet, at that precise
dawn when the network was supposed to serve knowledge as its main
purpose, and was seen as a huge and better library. I think we should
be a bit conservative/nostalgic in that extent.
Michael Hart made a convincing speech about how the public domain for
written works is threatened by corporate interests, who would like to
extend copyrights to eternity.
He and some European counterparts mentioned another project, that of
translating a huge amount of books. I am much more doubtful about
that, I have been a professional translator and I can tell the software
solutions that were mentioned won't work. I also think they are
losing valuable time here, and should concentrate first on getting
all the public domain works published in their original language.
To put it short, I propose the Gutenberg team should be contacted in
the scope of our present efforts about software patents and that kind
of stuff, and that the Johanna Boogerd team in the EP should be
registered as a honourable contact by the Green group.

Readers Correspondence
>From Andy Templeton
Hello,
Like most who read that the US - Australia free trade deal effectively
'steals' all of the PG Australia books from the public, starting in January, I
was disgusted! But I also remember reading a notice in the weekly newsletter
that PG Canada was soon going to start up. I believe that Canada still
follows the 50+ rule for copyright. That being the case, wouldn't it
be possible to transfer all the PG Aus. books to the new PG Can. site
once it is up and running? If so, I would like to recommend that the
PG Aus. books be somehow marked to indicate that these books were
'stolen' from the Australian public by their government at the behest
of the US government. These books should forever carry a notice of
shame for the Australian government for this crime so that it is never
forgotten.
It is very difficult to explain to the general public why the 'copyright
extension ad nauseum' practice of governments should greatly concern them. It
seems like such a hypothetical argument when you can't actually point to any
specific book that has been lost as a result of such legislation. But here we
have a very specific case of well over 300 books that will be taken away from
the public -- retroactively no less!
How can our governments shake their collective fingers at those who
illegally copy mp3 files while they themselves steal books from the public? What
nerve!
Best regards,
Andy Templeton

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
A to Z - U
A possibly overlooked letter of the alphabet, 'U' presents us with
some of the most informative and popular choices from the Project
Gutenberg catalogue under the authorship of 'United States'. Here you
can find titles such as 'Copyright Law Of The United States Of America
And Related Laws Contained In Title 17 Of The United States Code,
Circular 92', which is probably mandatory reading for everyone
here. But there are lighter items such as the 'LandSat Picture Of
Washington, DC' and a MPEG Animation 'Motion Picture Of Rotating
Earth', one of our most popular, and probably larger items, is the
'Motion Pictures Of The Apollo 11 Lunar Landing'. This is a really
facinating section of the catalogue so I will save some of the good
bits for further investigation, although in passing I will say if you
want etext 1 this is the place to find it.
You will also find another of those strange authors, 'Unknown'. This
presents us with a real cross-section of books such as '365 Foreign
Dishes' which has been featured in the newsletter cookery club
previously. Many religious texts: New Testament: The Common Edition;
Dhammapada, a collection of verses; being one of the canonical books
of the Buddhists; The Qur'an and Sri Vishnu Sahasranaamam
Sanskrit. Also housed here are a pile of maths texts: The First
100,000 Prime Numbers; The Golden Mean Or Ratio[(1+sqrt(5))/2]; A List
Of Factorial Math Constants; The Number "e"; Second Story of Meno, The
[A Socratic Dialogue Proving the Square Root of 2 Irrational]; The
Square Root of 4 To A Million Places - for which I still await part 2.
Historic tomes are also here: 'Ancient Poems, Ballads, And Songs Of
The Peasantry Of England', The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and Codex Junius
11 amongst others. For a little musical entertainment you could do
worse than Moonlight Sonata, by Bellini Ensemble Unique.
Now to book titles and it is impossible to get past 'U' without
mentioning Uarda : A Romance Of Ancient Egypt by Georg Ebers, a ten
volume epic described in the introduction thus "A narrative of
Herodotus combined with the Epos of Pentaur, of which so many copies
have been handed down to us, forms the foundation of the story.
The treason of the Regent related by the Father of history is referable
perhaps to the reign of the third and not of the second Rameses. But it
is by no means certain that the Halicarnassian writer was in this case
misinformed; and in this fiction no history will be inculcated, only as a
background shall I offer a sketch of the time of Sesostris, from a
picturesque point of view, but with the nearest possible approach to
truth. It is true that to this end nothing has been neglected that could
be learnt from the monuments or the papyri; still the book is only a
romance, a poetic fiction, in which I wish all the facts derived from
history and all the costume drawn from the monuments to be regarded as
incidental, and the emotions of the actors in the story as what I attach
importance to."
Also here, amongst classics such as 'Ulysses' and Uncle Tom's Cabin,
we find intriguing titles such as 'Umboo, the Elephant', 'Umbrellas
And Their History', and 'Uncle Remus, his songs and his
sayings'. Finally, a well known author well worth a look 'Utopia Of
Usurers And Other Essays' by G. K. Chesterton. Compared to some
letters 'U' has a smaller niche in the catalogue, but it's well worth
the time to investigate and find some real treasures in here.
Having missed the obvious last week in V is for volunteers, I'll take
this small opportunity to exercise artistic licence and finish with U
is for 'You' and all that 'You' do.
