Well I've just uploaded "Dream's End" and well as "Haunts and By-Paths". I haven't seen "Haunts" posted anywhere and "Dream's End" only as a commercial ebook. I've also uploaded a new version of "The Stray Lamb". The are four pages missing in chapter 16 of all versions floating around. There are a few other omissions scattered through the book. I don't know exactly where the first version came from but it was never proofed against the book. There is a small omission in the first chapter and it is missing in the sample from eNet Press as well.
Originally, I had wanted to get drawings that were part of some of the books. I went to the library with the original intent of just checking the ebook against the paper book. By chance the first book was "The Stray Lamb" and as soon as I started to find missing text in the ebook, I realized that it would be easier for me to photograph the book and redo it from scratch. The library will allow me to photograph any book but will not allow scanners (which is just as well, many of the books were very fragile) and the staff were a great help in letting me work in the library. I've done all the Thorne books except for his children's book. I've prepared the text for them all but I'm still working, on and off on the illustrations. Ideally, I'd like to trace them as svg images so that will scale properly. Maybe I'll post them without illustrations in the interim.
I'm also working on the four volumes of Edwin Markham's poetry.
My experience with the Internet Archive has not been good as late. I've downloaded a couple of James Thurber's books through Open Library and they all had illegible pages. I have had similar problems with some of Parkinson's books. Check carefully!
