eBooks we're working on

[RWood]

There's a new Victor Appleton on PG in the "Moving Picture Boys" series. There are 3 books now. If Harry wants to do these to add to his "Tom Swift" series, great. Otherwise, if he passes, I will get to them later in the week.

Thanks - I'd missed those. I'll do them!

Uploaded an omnibus edition of the three books in the "Moving Picture Boys" series so far released by PG.

I am creating the Harvard Classics in IMP format for the eBookwise. This is still a version 1 of the books as all I have done is to add an explicit Table of Contents to the books. Someday I may revise them all into another version; but, not today.

Currently working to produce a .prc of Wilkie Collins' "The Law and the Lady".

May take a few days though, the PG text needs a fair bit of revising

I'm currently revising my (pretty) complete works of Charles Dickens for the Sony, and creating versions for Mobi too. I've managed to get hold of the complete original illustrations for several more of Dickens' books, so I'll add these to them as I get that far.

I'm doing them more or less in alphabetical order, using my beloved 36 volume "Centenary Edition" of Dickens' complete works as a reference for formatting and placement of the illustrations.

I'm going back to my earlier books done with Book Designer and redoing them to fit my new formatting. Also I am making sure that each book I've posted have PRC & IMP formats. Also, I'll redo the IMP that were made as graphic images. I'm going in order based upon the ebook list when sorted by uploaded. So if a book you want is not yet done in the format you want, I will get to it.

My first fix is Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper.

After I've finished my initial round of "Dickens" books, I'm going to start experimenting with creating more sophisticated MobiPocket format books using MobiGen. It looks to be reasonably straightforward; exporting in HTML format from BD gives a nice HTML file which can then be hand-edited to add the custom Mobi tags. This should allow me to create Mobi books with a proper external TOC, larger images, etc.

I am much more interested, these days, in producing the very highest-quality versions that I can of my few favourite books, rather than turning them out in volume, as I've done during some earlier periods of time. My goal is to create books which are the electronic equivalent of high-quality hardback editions. I'm going to concentrate on my favourite authors - Dickens, Conan Doyle, and Haggard - for that purpose.

This may mean my abandoning the Sony format and concentrating purely on producing Mobi-format books; I'm not yet sure whether this will be necessary.

I found 3 books by Richard Henry Savage that I will be posting. Some say that he was the inspiration for Doc Savage.

Excellent! Sounds great!

There are a number of L. F. Baum fairy story books that I will add to the download area soon. The Wizard of Oz series has already been very well done by Roy White and I will not touch that area.

You might consider the Andrew Lang fairy books -- the Red Fairy Book, The Yellow Fairy Book, The Violet Fairy Book, etc.

Harry, thank you.

I'm a fan of small press books because of the craftsmanship and care lavished on the titles. It's nice to see people creating ebooks attempting to produce that kind of quality, within the limits imposed by the technology.

Dennis: Those were done and posted some time ago. All of them are posted except for the "greatest hits" collection which was only a selection of works from his final works and not among the best of his stories at that.
