Currently scanning Edgar Wallace, The Golden Hades. 1929. Unusual for Wallace, it's set entirely in New York.

I'm currently creating all of Jack London's work into epub, as we seem to not have a single one available here. Got them in the other formats, but not epub.

Starting with White Fang. I've got the book pretty much done, just doing the final proffing.

Finally got Shackleton's "Heart of the Antarctic" out of the door.
On to Fridtjof Nansen's "Nord i Taakeheimen"...
BTW, www.bokselskap.no are preparing an ebook version of Roald Amundsen's "Nordvestpassasjen"

I'm working on correcting errors in Sir Walter Scott's "The Pirate" for part of a collection of his Waverley Novels. I found it over at Internet Archive so there are a good number of broken sentences, garbage scan stuff and mis-spellings from the scanner not picking things up right. And this is a good scan of the book. The 1st copy I found there was more scrambled garbage than anything else.

Just got the contract for all 500 of Barbara Cartland's novels in epub, .prc and print.
Of course none are available in digital format so working from crap OCRd scans to Word .docs.
Looks like I've finally got a career!

The prospect of proofreading 500 Barbara Cartland novels... The mind boggles, or possibly implodes

The purpose of this forum is to tell people what you're working on that you're going to upload to the MR Library. Do you really intend to upload those 500 Barbara Cartland novels here?

Is it really worth your mind being turned to jelly?

I thought this thread was about 'eBooks we're working on', and no I'm not going to upload them here - they are copyrighted.
