Goodness, that was such a nice thing of you to post, Elsi, and with all the links to the MR ebooks, too. Thank you!

Please don't download "The Old Curiosity Shop" just yet. I've just started properly proofreading it, and it's in a horrible state (two of the ten chapters I've so far proof-read have complete pages missing!). I should have a pretty "definitive" version ready in a couple of weeks. The other books on the list are in a pretty reasonable state.
