a request, dear reader.
Something a little different today. I've been doing content providing for Project Gutenberg lately, and I've had a surprising lack of success in picking books (largely from Google Book Search) to download, split, OCR and pre-process. So, I'm requesting help from anyone who reads this.
Go to this starting page, or this one. Use those searches to find one or more books you think might be interesting, and leave the links to them in comments. I'd prefer if the books chosen were not heavily illustrated, though, since the scan quality on those is usually pretty bad, and I have to track down the books through ILL to scan the illustrations by hand.
Also, I dropped a big batch of comments today. I really do put considerable effort into them. I don't know why I bother going to Telic Thoughts, though--I'm really not speaking the same language as most of the people there, and it's an exercise in frustration and in talking past one another.
