SciFi e-books at Project Gutenberg

Branko Collin, who is apparently associated with Distributed Proofreaders, has written the following about the new availability of SciFi e-books at Project Gutenberg.

"Not too long ago Project Gutenberg started publishing sci-fi books from the Golden Age of science fiction (1950s - 1960s); we can do this because of non-renewed copyrights. Authors include H. Beam Piper, Andre Norton, Terry Gene Carr, Ray Cummings, Lester Del Rey, Murray Leinster, Carey Rockwell, and more. You’ll discover a completer list with links at The Thunder Child, a web magazine for Sci-Fi and Fantasy, named after the famous ironclad from Wells’ War of the Worlds."

What a great addition to an already amazing e-book source!

They are also making their way to manybooks.net pretty quickly, formatted for the Iliad. I've been grabbing them as they come across - somewhere around 200 so far.
