.:: 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/
. . .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:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as

============= [ 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
Major news this week
Announcing Distributed Proofreaders Europe
http://www.rastko.net/dp/default.php
This is the test site of Distributed Proofreaders Europe, which is a
service of Project Gutenberg Europe, Project Rastko, and the Global
Translation Project.
These are the words that greet all visitors to the newest part of the
Project Gutenberg / Distributed Proofreaders family. This newest
member is also turning into quite a unifying force behind the scenes
with two (so far) other volunteer projects joining forces with Project
Rastko to develop a really far reaching DP-EU. The main focus of
proofing at the moment is team based, the hope is the national and
special teams will adopt various books going throught the site. By
April they hope to have localization in 12 languages and dialects
finished, with 30 national/language teams formed. Then by the end of
December 2005: Localization in 60 languages and dialects, with the
existence of 60+ national/language teams. DP-EU could be the first
major Project Gutenberg's breakout from the primarily English speaking
area that has so far been PG history.
We include below a couple of pints from the DP-EU site, and we would
encourage readers to take a look at our newest project and gve them
our full support.
"Project Rastko - Internet Library of Serb Culture" is a non-profit
and non-governmental publishing, cultural and educational project
established in 1997 as a part of pan-regional Balkans Cultural Network
Initiative.
Project Rastko (DP-EU) is forming a coalition of European e-libraries
in order to contribute all local public domain digital production to
PG. Every region will have its local authorized e-library (node) which
will be local service of continental and global network. Thus, the
eventual organization will be of the type (Country, Continent, Globe)
or, for example, PG (France)-PG EU-PG. While the original Project
Gutenberg (and Distributed Proofreaders) primarily serviced the (world
wide) English diaspora, Europe, with its many languages, requires an
even greater distribution network. Many languages are primarily
located in their 'home' countries. Both the need for the production of
these languages, and the resources for acquiring them (content,
proofers) will be equally localized. It is important to note, though,
that the effort is fully international. Membership in any Project
Gutenburg, or any Distributed Proofreaders, is membership in all.
Mentions in dispatches
This piece comes to us via BBCWorld this week, where BBC presenter
Kate Russell highlighted both ibiblio and Project Gutenberg.
http://bbcworld.com/content/template_clickonline.asp?pageid=666&co_pageid=6
Webscape
January 15th 2004
Kate Russell gives us a guide to the sites in her Favourites folder.
There is no doubt that the internet is absolutely bursting at the seams
with information, so it's hardly surprising that more and more websites
are being built to help you find your way around it. Ibiblio describes
itself as an online library and digital archive, and it claims to be home
to one of the largest 'collections of collections' on the world wide web.
Not having seen every website on the internet personally, I can't validate
that claim, but you only have to look at the collection index to realise
that it's certainly vast enough to be a serious contender. Broken down
into easily digestible categories such as Arts & Recreation, Languages,
and Religion & Theology, you can click your way through to a powerhouse of
information on pretty much any subject you'd care to think of and, unlike
a traditional library, there's far more than just pages of text hidden
away in these archives. For example, within the Asian History subsection
you can access a page full of audio samples taken from traditional
Nepalese music, to really give you a flavour of the culture. Or why not
visit the Project Gutenberg pages to download classic literature in
digital form, either as a plain text file or as an audio file read out by
a synthesised voice. It might sound a bit strange hearing Shakespeare's "A
Midsummer's Nights Dream" spoken in this toneless computerised voice, but
as a resource for the visually impaired it could prove invaluable.

renders up all she ever had of him and more) and selling of herself to
Algerine pirates and going into Barbary a slave; together with the
tribulations of those who led her to wrong doing, and many other
surprising things now disclosed for the first time as the faithful
confession of Christopher Sutton. ]

The Picture Alphabet, by Oliver Spafford 10742
[A book from which children might learn the alphabet. Each letter is
accompanied by an illustration, such as a cat for "C." I wonder if
children in 1850 were familiar with a nylghau for "N," ibex for "I," or
urus for "U." Also, under the letter "X" the author states, "No word in
the English language begins with this letter."]

The Circus Procession, by Unknown 10749
[This is without doubt the most fascinating book that's passed through my
hands during my career at PG. It's a children's book about a circus parade,
with
gorgeous illustrations. But what makes it so unusual is the way it was put
together (both the original and the html). The original book consisted of 4
lines of verse at the bottom of colored illustrations of the circus procession.
The leaves were mounted on boards and joined together in an accordion-fold
format which, fully extended, was 372 cm (roughly 12 feet) in length. Thus, the
html version is to be scrolled horizontally, so that it will be viewed as was
the original.]

surely is one of the treasures of our collection.

Now with a posting note like this, how can the newsletter editor
refuse to take a look. The HTML version is well worth a look with some
exquisite illustrations, and amazing colours given the publishing date
is 1888. IT's also interesting to note the difference between this and
the pictures of the circus that we are all familiar with, clowns, but
of course no car to fall apart. No trapeze artists, but far more
emphasis on the exotic animals. I think this would still make a
fantastic childrens' book even now. Thoroughly recommended.

GETTING A COPY OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD OR CD
There have been loads of enquiries about this, so we include here help
and instructions.
We would prefer you download the CD or DVD image, as described below.
But if you would like a copy, we will send you a copy in the mail free
of charge (you can make a donation to offset our costs: visit
http://gutenberg.net/donate.shtml). When possible, we will send you
TWO copies, so you can give one away.
You can buy a copy of the CD from this site (a portion of all proceeds
go to Project Gutenberg):
http://supporttech.home.comcast.net/projgut.htm
You could also use a CD or DVD burner to copy the disc we send.
To receive a CD or DVD:
email your name and postal address
specify whether you want a CD or DVD
send to: "cd@pglaf.org"
We'll respond to let you know we got your message, and will send a CD
or DVD as soon as we can. Since the CDs and DVDs are produced by
volunteers (using their home computers), we cannot guarantee fast
delivery. Discs are sent via USPS or other inexpensive method.
Generally, the discs are hand-labeled and will arrive in a simple wrapper.
We will send them to you at any address, worldwide. We do not
have a program in place to send discs to other people on your behalf,
but are working on such a program for the future.
DOWNLOADING IMAGES FOR THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD AND CD
You can download these CD and DVD ISO images freely, and you are
encouraged to give away copies. See the details on the CD/DVD project
page for limitations on commercial use.
Start here for description, links to the ISO images, and checksums.

The ISO format is a single large file. CD/DVD burning software can
write the file to a CD or DVD, which can then be read in any computer
with a CD or DVD reader. You need a drive that can write and a blank
disc to write the ISO images. These files are large, so not suitable
for download over a modem or other slow connection.

Wikipedia ebook discussion
This from an idea put forward by one of the volunteers this week.
A wiki or similar forum might be a great way to provide reader support
services to discuss an eBook.
Wikipedias sister project tries to accomplish a similiar job:
http://wikibooks.org/wiki/Annotated_works
So if you would like to discuss a book from PG, this seems to be a
great forum in which to do it. As far as we know there is nothing
particularly specific that relates PG to Wikibooks, so maybe this is
the time to improve this.

At Last, by Charles Kingsley 10669
For those wishing to know: this is the last major work Kingsley wrote. His
family had come from the West Indies and it was his life-long ambition to
visit the islands. It's his account of the trip. However, Kingsley was also
very keen on natural history and spends a good deal of the book giving the
Latin names for the plants and animals he comes across.
Game and Playe of the Chesse, by Caxton 10672
Extract from the Introduction of this remarkable book:
"Snuffy Davy bought the 'Game of Chess, 1474,' the first book ever printed
in England, from a stall in Holland for about two groschen, or two-pence of
our money."

Distributed Proofreaders Update
Happy new year!
Yes, I know, you've heard it before. You've heard it so many times in
fact that by now it seems to have little true resonance. Now I don't
write the news here, I just make it up, so far be it for me to play
shepherd of meaning, but I can recognize a New Year when I see
one. Fresh from the gate, 2004 has all the markings a unique life
form. 2003, wonderful as it was for DP, is truly a creature of
history.
Now happiness is a subjective perception, so can a year, in and of
itself, actuallybe happy? For you and me we say "yes." However there
are few readers in the back of the room shaking their heads, so let's
see what can be revealed within these past couple of weeks to dissuade
them out of their disbelief.
Throughout the world, many of our spiritual traditions express the
idea that the surestpath to happiness is found by giving to
others. The unselfish gift so often proves an inspiration for joy. As
anyone who has experienced some will tell you, joy is very
contagious. Spread some of this good stuff around at the beginning of
a year, and sure as the sun warms your skin, joy will flow forward and
illuminate the weeks and months which follow.
Now if you are Distributed Proofreaders how do you start this wheel of
happiness spinning? What do you give, more than what you already do,
and how should you decide who best to give to over another. Ah... both
valid questions, true. But you must know by now that I have thought
about this, thought a great deal in fact. The answer is right at our
feet, the very ground we stand upon shines up at us like the
proverbial "acres of diamonds." That ground is the public domain. "But
we already give to the public domain," I hear from the back of the
room; "In fact, that's all DP lives to do." True indeed ... but the
operative word in my opening wish was "new." This is a new year, and
if we desire it to be different than other years, we must do things in
new ways. This includes giving in new ways as well.
DP lives within the USA, and so we operate under the limits upon the
public domain which presently are imposed upon the USA. It is fair to
say that over the past several years, those of us who live fenced off
from an ever increasing public domain have forgotten the pleasure that
rises when a favorite book is at last released to the public good at
the start of the new year. Yet in countries around the globe, works by
a vast selection of authors were set free this January first. Not
single titles alone, but entire libraries of work have for the first
time become freely available where the laws allow copyright to be
retained for 50-70 years beyond an author's life.
Across the European Union, the works of authors who passed away in
1933 have been free to all for these past two weeks. If you are a fan
of Robert William Chambers, John Galsworthy, Sara Teasdale or George
Augustus Moore and live within a 70+ country, I do envy you the
pleasures that are yours to enjoy this month and beyond. How fine it
must be to at last partake to your heart's content of the thoughts,
feelings and ideas of a favorite author! Well, at least to the extent
of what is available by these authors in Project Gutenberg. Ah!
... and here is true path to happiness for this year. Here is what
Distributed Proofreaders can give in a manner beyond what it already
does and focus that direction upon a specific audience.
With an inspired, dedicated effort, that I will personally champion,
those at DP who desire to, can help expand the existing PG libraries
by authors new to the public domain in the +50-70 countries. This will
of course be limited to those works of a pre-23 vintage, but this
remains to be quite a large number of titles. Watch for details about
this initiative in the forums over the coming days, there is
participation to be enjoyed at every level of research and production,
as well as a promise of happiness that will stay with you long beyond
the borders of this year and on into your life. Even among our own DP
community we have so much to give and in so doing show the gratitude
for all that has been already given by those members from certain
countries where other projects at DP were not open for the PD in their
home country. There is so much to give through this effort and so much
to be received in return. A happy new year it is and a happy new year
it continue to be.
This year sees a vast and wondrously promising expansion of the DP
dream, which will fill the news of the next couple of weeks. This is
one of the original promises of the Internet kept and true, the
collaborative effort of dedicated individuals throughout the world
working for a better and brighter future. Stay tuned!!
What would a new year be without a significant milestone? Today we
celebrate a very big one. Just a couple of hours ago, the 3,000th
completed project at DP was posted to Project Gutenberg. Yes, it was
just in September that we completed the 2,000th project. And yes, that
IS pretty amazing, but hey, we amazin' folks!
Okay, some of us are amazin'! Like Karl Hagen, for instance, who took
on the heroic labor of post processing The Anatomy of Melancholy, by
Democritus Junior. A project which is legendary in the history & lore
of DP. The setting of this project as the commemorative DP3K posting
is a small gesture of appreciation to Karl and all the DP members who
put their efforts into bringing this book to PG.
Following that feat of dedication, there is no more to say.
Until next week...all the best to each and all of you, now and for the
50 weeks ahead!

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
The Anatomy of Melancholy, by Democritus Junior (Robert Burton)
An extract from the introduction:
"ADVERTISEMENT TO THE LAST LONDON EDITION (1652 ?)
The work now restored to public notice has had an extraordinary fate. At
the time of its original publication it obtained a great celebrity, which
continued more than half a century. During that period few books were more
read, or more deservedly applauded. It was the delight of the learned, the
solace of the indolent, and the refuge of the uninformed. It passed through
at least eight editions, by which the bookseller, as WOOD records, got an
estate; and, notwithstanding the objection sometimes opposed against it, of
a quaint style, and too great an accumulation of authorities, the
fascination of its wit, fancy, and sterling sense, have borne down all
censures, and extorted praise from the first Writers in the English
language. The grave JOHNSON has praised it in the warmest terms, and the
ludicrous STERNE has interwoven many parts of it into his own popular
performance. MILTON did not disdain to build two of his finest poems on it;
and a host of inferior writers have embellished their works with beauties
not their own, culled from a performance which they had not the justice
even to mention. Change of times, and the frivolity of fashion, suspended,
in some degree, that fame which had lasted near a century; and the
succeeding generation affected indifference towards an author, who at
length was only looked into by the plunderers of literature, the poachers
in obscure volumes. The plagiarisms of _Tristram Shandy_, so successfully
brought to light by DR. FERRIAR, at length drew the attention of the public
towards a writer, who, though then little known, might, without impeachment
of modesty, lay claim to every mark of respect; and inquiry proved, beyond
a doubt, that the calls of justice had been little attended to by others,
as well as the facetious YORICK. WOOD observed, more than a century ago,
that several authors had unmercifully stolen matter from BURTON without any
acknowledgment. The time, however, at length arrived, when the merits of
the _Anatomy of Melancholy_ were to receive their due praise. The book was
again sought for and read, and again it became an applauded performance."
The Anatomy of Melancholy - it stil sends shivers down my spine and I
only proofed one page. This has to be one of the most scary books I
have ever laid eyes on, but that must not diminish it's
importance. The Anatomy of Melancholy was published eight times during
the authors lifetime, a rare enough event these days, never mind 400
years ago. The books' subject matter is depression, "Burton believed
depression to be both a physical and spiritual ailment. Prompted by
his own bouts with the affliction, he employed his considerable
erudition and wit to write what amounts to the first psychiatric
encyclopedia, citing early 500 medical authors in the course of
classifying the myriad causes, forms and symptoms of depression, and
describing its various cures (Norman)"
The work reveals Burton's delight in English literature and his
'roving humour'. He quotes from Shakespeare, Jonson, Daniel, Drayton,
and Florio's Montaigne. His own library at Christ Church was filled
with such works, and his bequest of more than 800 volumes to the
Bodleian Library laid the foundations for Bodley's collection of
English literature.
The first edition is the only one of the eight life-time editions in
which the 'Conclusion' is included, at the end of which Burton's name
appears - not that his authorship was any secret.
A search on the internet turned up an antiquarian bookseller asking an
amazing 32000 GB pounds for a copy.

Hilaire Belloc
This was brought to our attention a while ago. There appear to be many
and various works of Belloc available for use in PG. These include
Cautionary Tales for Children
Avril, Being Essays on Poetry of the French Renaissance
The Four Men: A Farrago
The French Revolution
Servile State
Hilaire Belloc (1870 - 1953), was born close to Paris, but due to the
Franco-Prussian war was educated in England. He attended Oxford
University and served as a member of Parliament for Salford South. His
first work was published in 1896, and over 150 volumes were eventually
published.

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/
. . .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:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.
