Where do I make a request for an MR formatted book?

BookCat · 03-24-2010, 11:03 AM

I've often found myself looking for public domain novels which gutenberg have as very badly formatted txt files but which I'd like as lrf. They haven't been available on manybooks or feedbooks. I'd like to be able to make requests to the amazing peeps who format the MR books, but there isn't a place to do this. Where should I put such a post?

At the moment I'm searching for "The Lamplighter" by Maria S Cummins, which Girliebooks has as an awful txt version. Please could some nice MR person reformat this?

It is the usual place for requests like this.

I've found a somewhat better version; though it needs some attention. I'll have a go at it in the next couple of days.

It's now converted and uploaded.

Thanks for pointing out the correct thread....duh

Thanks Patricia, have downloaded your file and look forward to reading it.
