Actually, this project was done by real Turks, and placed online
through Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation CEO Greg Newby.
While it may have been the case that this project would not yet have
seen the light of day without my encouragement, it could hardly be
said that it was something I did in PG's name.
However, you should be advised that ~99% of all submissions Dr. Newby
and I receive make it to the light of day in a relatively short time.
