Re: Re: What's Not in Gutenberg

I do wish people would send in the faxes or xeroxes anyway. . . .

If I am willing to keep bushels of these on file in my house in
case the lawyers ever need them. . .then I hope you will send them.
             
Literally, I have over a dozen large bags filled with these,
in fact I am sitting with my feet around one of them right now.

If you have a book published before 1923 to
do for Project Gutenberg, please send xerox
copies of the title and copyright pages, or
for books published in the US before 1989--
without any copyright information; we still
need both sides of the title page for those
that are even totally and completely blank,
to prove there was no copyright notice!!!

Remember:  new editions or translations can
get new copyrights, so use older ones.

You can fax me, just ask, or. . .

 
Please send to:

MICHAEL STERN HART
405 WEST ELM STREET
URBANA, IL 61801-3231
USA

Please include your email name and address,
and mark the envelope with some distinctive
mark and or color.  Colored envelopes fine.
Just something so I can find it easily, the
mail here is slow and deep, like snow.

Remind me in a week to look for your mail!!


So nice to hear from you!

Thanks!!

Michael
