BOOKS IN PROGRESS AND REQUESTED
In Progress --
Requests
Below is a list of books that readers have told me are partly online
or requested. Please let us know
of any additional books we should list below, or of any books on these list
that are now complete online. In some cases, we have listed
the email addresses of those who are working on or requested the books.
If you'd like to write to them, replace the
term (at) in the addresses below with an @ sign.
Items will disappear from this list when they are completed
and open to the public (in which case
they will most likely appear in the indexes of
The Online Books Page.)
They may also disappear if enough time goes by without any indication
of progress, or the person who expressed interest in the work drops it
or becomes unreachable.
Works in Progress
These are works that are partly online, but not yet complete enough
for a regular catalog listing.
Where more information is known about the progress of the work, I have
noted it.
To query about status, or to work on the book, write to
the designated contact person.
Given that it is now possible to post a volume in page image form at least
with only a few hours of work, we are in the process of phasing
out the listings in this section
that don't have at least one volume or issue's worth of online material,
either replacing them with a listing of a complete title or moving them
down into the requests section. (If we're not
adding the title to our main catalog, we'll write the
contact person before we eliminate the listing here.)
We used to list books not yet posted anywhere. We no longer do this here,
but
David Price has a Project Gutenberg in-progress list
that shows what's being prepared for that project.
(It doesn't say who is working
on a particular text, but you may be able to write to David or to Gutenberg
to find out.)

Suggested books
These are books that people have asked for, and could be put online,
but I don't know if anyone is currently working on them. To my knowledge,
they are all either in the public domain in at least some edition (and some
have already been copyright cleared by Gutenberg), or
okayed by the copyright holder. In some cases,
the name of the person suggesting
the work is included. You can check with that person
to see if it's being worked on,
or if they know of any resources that might be helpful.
If you have access to one of these books, and would like to put
it online, see this page
to learn how to do it.
And if you know of an online copy of any of these titles,
please let us know.
