Patricia, there is "Milton's Complete Poems in English" in Harvard Classics #4 and a lot of prose in #3. #4 was one of the first books of verse that I did and it could be done better. I welcome your version. As I remember Bob Russell is a big Milton fan.

Thanks. Roy White wanted a version with the Gustave Doré illustrations. I've now assembled the stuff and will put it together, probably this weekend.

Sometimes the Doré illustrations were better than the text that surrounded them. I once had a Dover reprint book of just Doré illustrations without any distracting text.

Dorothy L. Sayers please ! (imp format)

i would like to make a special request for Dorothy L. Sayers, she's absolutely brilliant (i have read all of them but only in french, i would love to have the original versions !! only "whose body" is available so far, that i know of), and also Agatha Christie... If you could make these available in imp format (for the eb1150) that would be brilliant ; if you can't but have the texts available in html or text format, i could format them in imp and post them, just let me know. |

HarryT has done the Philo Vance books in LRF and PRC. All that's needed is IMP.

i have just made one Philo Vance book, The Bishop Murder Case, in imp format with the illustrations etc. which you can find here, i can do the rest of them as well no problem since i see i am not the only one who likes SS Van Dine... however it may take me a little while, i am just learning to use the ebook Publisher software (that book was my first ever successful one).

I've already uploaded Dorothy L Sayers's 'Whose Body', which is available at PG Australia. It's her earliest novel and was the only one available.
I'd love to see some more. If anyone finds a legal source then point me to it and I will convert it. |

is there any way of making a request to PG Australia ? or maybe just to let them know we're interested ? i have no idea how they choose which books to do but maybe they're interested to know what the reading public likes... or what we are eagerly awaiting...

The gentleman who runs PG Australia has been very responsive in the past. (The exact case was the posting of Doc Savage titles that he believed to be in the public domain but were in fact not. He removed them within a day of confirming that they were still in copyright.) Like all boards, he is limited by the available time the volunteers contribute. Perhaps you can make the suggestion to them.

The Sayer works weren't hosted at PG Australia. Her work is not yet out of copyright in Australia. A few years back Australia switched from a death+50 to death+70. The new rule applies to deaths after 1954.
