Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions, all of which are in
the Public Domain in the United States, unless a copyright notice is included. Therefore,
we usually do NOT keep any of these books in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance of the official release
dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be encouraged to send us error messages
even years after the official publication date.
Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till midnight of the last day of the
month of any such announcement. The official release date of all Project Gutenberg
Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary
version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to
do so.
Most people start at our sites at: http://gutenberg.net
http://promo.net/pg
Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement can surf to them as
follows, and just download by date; this is also a good way to get them instantly upon
announcement, as the indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext02 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02
Or /etext01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, as it appears in our
Newsletters.















Information about Project Gutenberg
(one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a
rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread,
edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected
audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at
one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new
Etext files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+ If they reach just
1-2% of the world's population then the total should reach over 300 billion Etexts given
away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by December 31,
2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred
million readers, which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third of that goal by the end of

2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we manage to get some real funding.
