And even if you download it I feel that it is wrong to base these kind of interaction on being thankful. Being thankful is passive. A better thing is to contribute something back to the shared project of making PD books available in good editions. And you do that because you feel this makes the world a better place and not because you are thankful.

(having uploaded 5 title to various Project Gutenbergs, working on more...and writing bad pulp stories gratis to the public domain.)
I do have one question about uploading here. Is uniqueness (i.e. this is the first upload of the work anywhere) more valued that just proofing and editing and doing format work? I don't know if I should redo titles available elsewhere, do reserve my uploads to completely new scans/works?
