Totally agree, Jellby. Yes, the quality of the books produced by Distributed Proofreaders is very high indeed. Unfortunately, however, they tend to concentrate on doing new books, rather than producing new editions of old ones, and very many of the greatest classics on PG are typed text files, full of errors, which long pre-date the days of scanners and the DP volunteers.
