Here is another list. It is really more for the Gutenbergers - in that there is nothing WE can really do about it. This is a list of things that are missing from PG that really ought to be there.

I obtained this list by checking my huge merged list against PG. All of these authors are already well represented within PG, yet these particular works are missing. In many cases they are a missing part of a set. In other cases, the work identified is actually more famous or more seminal than other works that PG does have.

If anybody is lurking here from PG, I would think working on these should be a relatively high priority. This list is "only" 130 entries - and given the bazillions of files they already have, this is an amazingly short "to do" list. Relatively speaking!
