                  THE PROJECT GUTENBERG YEARLY REPORT FOR 2006
                               by Michael Hart

Last year we first started counting PGEu and PrePrints but I never got an
accurate listing of the duplications from a PGEU listing and the overall
totals. Our new editor has it much more accurately figured out since he
started and will start accounting for these duplications next week. Expect
the grand total to drop by about 350, from where you might have expected it
under last years accounting. Please note the addition of the PGEu totals will
make last year bigger and this coming year smaller, as we started with about
200 PGEu duplications and ended up with about 350.

You will notice certain statistical changes pointed out in the counts as
the years change.


Counting ONLY Books as under US or Australian copyright:

2007  21,669 -- 2006  17,926  [Includes Australian totals]

3,723 new

4,104 counting 381 added from PrePrints


We started with 218 PG Europe eBooks and ended with 408 with a gain of 190,
nearly doubling the PGEu collection, thus:

2007  22,077 -- 2006  18,144  [Including BOTH PGAU & PGEu]

3,933 added

4,314 counting 381 added from PrePrints

WARNING: In the future these numbers will appear smaller as we account for
the PGEu duplications.


2006 ended with 20,215 under US copyright up 2808
2006 ended with  1,454 under AU copyright up  935
2006 ended with 21,669 combined effort    up 3743

2005 ended with 17,407 under US copyright
2005 ended with    519 under AU copyright
2005 ended with 17,926 combined effort

WARNING: After our 35th anniversary, the PGAu counts were kept separately
rather than added in this count, and any error in making up for that
is MINE (M. Hart). Our 35 anniversary was July 4, 2006.


Adding in the PGEu total of 408 yields the following:

2006 ended with 20,215 under US copyright  up 2808
2006 ended with  1,454 under AU copyright  up  935
2006 ended with    408 in the PGEu library up  190
2006 ended with 22,077 combined effort     up 4151


Adding in the PGEu total of 218 yields the following:

2005 ended with 17,407 under US copyright
2005 ended with    519 under AU copyright
2005 ended with    218 under EU listings
2005 ended with 18,144 combined effort

WARNING: My own calculations are being done by hand and in a rather
hurried manner, we should have a new report for you next week, perhaps
somewhat improved.


Adding in the PGPP total of 381 yields the following:

2006 ended with 20,596 under US copyright  up 2808
2006 ended with  1,454 under AU copyright  up  935
2006 ended with    408 in the PGEu library up  190
2006 ended with    381 in the PGPP section up  381
2006 ended with 22,458 combined effort     up 4314


NOTES: There may be some counting discrepancies or errors between the various
and sundry counting methods we have employed.

These figures run from January 4, 2006 to January 3, 2007, as our production
statistics run Wednesday to Wednesday at 10:45AM, Central Standard Time.

NOTES:

At the start of 2007, the PG-US total had been adjusted (by -350 eBooks) to
take into consideration the duplications from PG-EU. Please remember that
other totals may also have been affected.
This figure (-350) is only approximate, we will update once we have received
the exact figure from PG-EU.

We have several counting methods that often differ by several books. There
is also some duplication between the various collections. Volunteers will
need to take these duplications into account.

The PG Australia total does NOT include PGAU eBooks posted at the U.S.
website; www.gutenberg.org.

PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that sometimes it takes a few weeks for entire collections to fully
appear in the PrePrints Section, thus the count sometimes jumps by a large
number when the files are eventually completed and added in. Also note that the
PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move later to other
locations, including the main collection or The Project Gutenberg Consortia
Center, etc. For example, on June 14, 200 WAP compatible cell phone eBooks
appeared, and will likely be moved to other collection points later.
The entire process of working out the details just to send them to the
PrePrints Section took well over a month.
Even with the speeded up process of the PrePrints Section, it still takes a
certain amount of time to collect and put such a large collection online in a
proper manner.

The Project Gutenberg Yearly Report for 2006

Last year we first started counting PGEu and PrePrints but I never got an accurate listing of the duplications from a PGEU listing and the overall totals. Our new editor has it much more accurately figured out since he started and will start accounting for these duplications next week. Expect the grand total to drop by about 350, from where you might have expected it under last years accounting. Please note the addition of the PGEu totals will make last year bigger and this coming year smaller, as we started with about 200 PGEu duplications and ended up with about 350.

 

You will notice certain statistical changes pointed out in the counts as the years change.

 

 

Counting ONLY Books as under US or Australian copyright:2007 21,669 — 2006 17,926 [Includes Australian totals]

3,723 new

4,104 counting 381 added from PrePrints

We started with 218 PG Europe eBooks and ended with 408 with a gain of 190, nearly doubling the PGEu collection, thus:

2007 22,077 — 2006 18,144 [Including BOTH PGAU & PGEu]

3,933 added

4,314 counting 381 added from PrePrints

 

WARNING: In the future these numbers will appear smaller as we account for the PGEu duplications.

2.5m Digital Books On One £25,000 Machine

A machine that electronically stores 2.5 million books that can then be printed and bound in less than seven minutes is to be launched early next year. It prints in any language and has an upper limit of 550 pages. The 'Espresso' will be launched first in several US libraries.

Modifications to the Count of Project Gutenberg eBooks for 2007

Modifications to the count of Project Gutenberg eBooks for 2007.

On the second Wednesday of 2007 the Project Gutenberg Newsletter will start
another official year of recording the progress of an attempt to create a
world public library on the Internet.

This is because Project Gutenberg runs on a weekly schedule from the first
Wednesday of each year to the first Wednesday of a new year, so the first
weekly totals of the new year come out on the second Wednesday of that year,
after the first production week.

There will be one particularly noticeable change, in that eBooks from Project
Gutenberg of Europe that appear in both the listing of PG of Europe and the
US public domain listings will now be in a mode that subtracts out the
duplications.

Due to poor communications I was uncertain as to how many of the PG of Europe
eBooks were actually also listed as in US copyright lists and appeared on both
European and American server lists.

Michael Cook, our new Newsletter Editor, has been very judicious in his efforts
to create the most accurate totals possible, so this new counting methodology
should appear for the first time on the second Wednesday of the
new year. . .i.e. next week.

As you may know, Project Gutenberg of Europe just celebrated the completion
of their 400th eBook, and I think you will be greatly surprised to find out
how many of these are included in the U.S. public domain listings.

NOTES:

We have several counting methods that often differ by several books. There
is also some duplication between the various collections. Volunteers will
need to take these duplications into account.

The PG Australia total does NOT include PGAU eBooks posted at the U.S.
website; www.gutenberg.org.

PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that sometimes it takes a few weeks for entire collections to fully
appear in the PrePrints Section, thus the count sometimes jumps by a large
number when the files are eventually completed and added in. Also note that the
PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move later to other
locations, including the main collection or The Project Gutenberg Consortia
Center, etc. For example, on June 14, 200 WAP compatible cell phone eBooks
appeared, and will likely be moved to other collection points later.
The entire process of working out the details just to send them to the
PrePrints Section took well over a month.
Even with the speeded up process of the PrePrints Section, it still takes a
certain amount of time to collect and put such a large collection online in a
proper manner.

-.- HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG -.-

The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at

   http://gutenberg.org/find

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.org/MIRRORS.ALL

If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search
page, and need additional information, please refer to the file
GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at:

   http://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL

That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming
process, directory structure, file formats, and more.

And to directly access the file directories:

   http://gutenberg.org/dirs/

Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the
process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to
Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook
number).  This process includes some file maintenance (repairing,
correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).
These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below.  More
information can be found in the file GUTINDEX.ALL mentioned above.

Author Philippa Pearce Dies At 86

Children's author Philippa Pearce, who was responsible for books such as Tom's Midnight Garden, has died aged 86 after suffering a stroke.
The former BBC producer wrote her first novel, Minnow on the Say, in 1955, and her home – a Cambridgeshire mill house – inspired much of her work.
Tom's Midnight Garden, about a young boy who finds a secret Victorian garden at his uncle's home, was among them.
It sold millions of copies and was adapted for film, TV and theatre.
It also won the British Library Association's Carnegie Medal in 1958.BBC News, 3rd January, 2007
