Thanks Patricia. Too bad it's only in PDF. I'll wait and see if some vendor brings it out in MobiPocket format.

If you click on the chapter titles on the left then you can get each chapter in html.

I would love an omnibus of Jack London's Stuff. Also Arthur Machen's. If i had to choose, id pick Machen's. Ill sit and hope someone more talented than me will do this : )

mtravellerh · 02-15-2009, 02:32 AM

Two things:
1. Maybe you could ask Patricia directly for Machen.
2. There can't be a London omnibus, because his body of work is enormous.RWood is just now doing a gigantic London posting, though and I guess most of London's work will be available here on MR.

There is little or no "talent" involved in creating nice books - it's just a matter of practice. My advise to you would be, rather than just sitting there and "hoping" that someone else will do the work for you, have a go yourself. It might not turn out too good, but it'll be better the next time, and the time after that better still. Have a go!

"Origin of Species", please.

Hehe ive tried several times, it all comes out too messed up lol, guess it must require at least a little talent hehe.

I got to think of a book added, I guess now, since I found this thread.

It looks like it's been 50 years since Herny Kuttner died.

It was published in the UK in 1951, and the author died in 1952. Is it in the public domain yet?

Now uploaded.

I'd like to have "Il gattopardo" (The Leopard), by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, in the original Italian. The author died in 1957, and the book was published in 1958, so it should be copyright-free in Canada by now...
