Looks like a close run between Dr. Izard and Le Morte Darthur at the present time.

Looks like the ebook could use some cleaning up. I'll volunteer if:
1) I assume it is out of copyright (I'm in the U.S.), so I can modify it. 2) someone can give me an epub. I'd use Calibre to convert the mobi to an epub, but I'm not sure if this would be a good starting point. 3) members PM me with typos. I have the technical skills to make simple typo corrections. OR We can all send our comments to crich and he can make the changes. Anyone interested? |

There were a lot of typos in it, presumably from scanning. For example, double L always seemed to appear as two digits, eg he'11.
However it is possible to understand what should be there so I'm not sure it is worth doing a clean-up. |

Hmm. It does seem that whomever did the original epub work did mess up things. Probably something done by the Internet Archive originally.

What happened to a discussion thread for October? Or is there an unspoken consensus that it's better to move on without it!

It never looked like the sort of book that I would enjoy or get anything out of so I never even bothered to obtain it. So the unspoken consensus is that I missed nothing?
