I'm a bit worn tuckered out from making books right now and I think I'll take the rest of the summer off. In the fall, I'm planning to redo the Einstein title that I botched in December and try a few other math and physics titles. I'd love to hear some suggestions about putting equations into an LRF, at least. If I have to use images captured from a math equation editor I will but it would be great to avoid that.

I'm also toying with a larger project. The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, as it's called, is a massive thing containing all of his correspondence, journals, publications, and speeches translated into English by the Indian government. It contains about 50,000 pages in about 100 volumes. Much of it is in the public domain in the U.S. and all of it will be so in India on January 1, 2009. I've been reading the PDFs of these on my Reader and noting the particularly interesting portions. I may put these portions together into a collection and post it in January if I determine that to be legal to do and if I can find the time to do it.

Keep posting great books!
