Installing EpubMaker

EpubMaker is Project Gutenberg’s file converter. It can convert from
PG-RST to HTML, EPUB, PDF and plain text.

Windows

Prerequisites

1. Install Python.

Assuming you don’t have python yet. If you have either version 2.6
or 2.7 already installed, skip this.

From http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/ download the
Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7) and run it.

Select all the default options and install.

2. Install Python Setuptools.

From http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools download
setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe (or any newer version) and run
it.

If you are using python 2.6 get the setuptools for 2.6.

3. Install Groff. (You can skip this step if you don’t want to
generate plain text files.)

From http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/groff.htm download
_Complete package, except sources - Setup_ (groff-1.20.1-setup.exe)
and run it.

Select all the default options and install.

4. Install TexLive. (You can skip this step if you don’t want to
generate PDF files.)

Go to http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet and download the
file install-tl.zip. Then say:

> unzip install−tl.zip
> cd install−tl*
> install−tl

This will open the TeX Live installation wizard. Follow the
instructions. When in doubt use the defaults.

This will take quite a while. (3 hours on an old Dell Vostro 1000
laptop. It installs about 2.5 GB in 93,000 files.) If you
experience download problems, restart the wizard: it will resume
the download where it left off.

Long installation instructions can be found at
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-150003

5. Install HTML Tidy. (You can skip this step if you only want to
process RST files and don’t want to build EPUBs from HTML input.)

If you are a post-processor you already have this.

http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

6. Update your PATH.

Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables.
Click "Path" in the User variables at the top. Click "Edit"

If the field is empty just enter (all in one line):

C:\Python27;
C:\Python27\Scripts;
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin;

If the field contains data, go to the end of that data and add a
semicolon if there isn’t one already and then add the string above.

Click Ok three times.

EpubMaker

1. At the command prompt run:

> easy_install epubmaker

2. Test your installation:

> epubmaker −−help
> epubmaker http://www.gutenberg.org/masters/rst/181/181.rst

Debian

Prerequisites

(Does not work with python 3 yet. If your distribution uses python 3 as
default (not likely!), you’ll have to parallel install python 2.6 or
2.7.)

# apt−get install python python−setuptools python−lxml
# apt−get install groff tidy
# apt−get install libpng−dev libjpeg−dev libfreetype6−dev

Note: To get PDF generation to work, you have to use TeX Live version
2009-11 or newer. You can get those from debian testing or unstable. If
don’t want to switch from debian stable, you have to install TeX Live
manually.

If you are on testing or unstable:

# apt−get install texlive texlive−latex−extra texlive−xetex
# apt−get install ttf−linux−libertine ttf−dejavu

Else, to install TeX Live manually, go to
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet and download the file
install-tl-unx.tar.gz. Unpack it. Then:

# cd /path/where/unpacked
# perl install−tl −gui

Long installation instructions can be found at
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-150003

EpubMaker

# easy_install epubmaker

Kindlegen

(Optional: Used only to make Kindle files):

$ wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/kindlegen/kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v1.2.tar.gz
$ tar −xzf kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v1.2.tar.gz

PG-RST Classes

A list of classes you can use in PG-RST.

Classes For Inline Text

These classes have an effect on inline text. If you put them on a block,
all inline contents of the block will be rendered accordingly.

Classes For Inline Text I

────────────────────────────────────────────────
Class Explanation
────────────────────────────────────────────────
italics Switch to italic font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
bold Switch to boldface.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
small-caps Switch to small capitals.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
gesperrt Switch to gesperrt (extended
letter spacing).
────────────────────────────────────────────────
antiqua Switch to antiqua.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
monospaced Switch to monospaced font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────

Classes For Inline Text II

────────────────────────────────────────────────
Class Explanation
────────────────────────────────────────────────
smaller Switch to smaller font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
larger Switch to larger font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
xx-small Switch to smallest font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
x-small Switch to very small font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
small Switch to small font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
medium Switch to normal font size.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
large Switch to large font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
x-large Switch to very large font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
xx-large Switch to largest font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────

Classes For Inline Text III

────────────────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────────────────
white Switch to white font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
gray Switch to gray font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
black Switch to black font.
────────────────────────────────────────────────

Classes For Block Text

These classes have an effect on block text. Please do not confuse the
alignment of the block with the alignment of the text in the block. Eg.
a table can be centered, while the text inside the table is
left-aligned. The alignment of the block is set with the align option.

Classes For Block Text

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Class Explanation
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
left Left-aligns the text in the
block.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
center Centers the text in the block.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
right Right-aligns the text in the
block.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
justify Justifies the text in the block.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
white-space-pre-line Preserves newlines.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Classes For Front Matter Markup

EpubMaker includes a few classes to markup front matter. While it is not
necessary to do this, it adds value. In future the PG catalog might
automatically extract not only the cover page but also the title page,
verso, etc.

Classes For Front Matter Markup

─────────────────────────────────────────────────
Class Explanation
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
coverpage The cover page.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
frontispiece The frontispiece.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
titlepage The title page.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
verso The title page verso.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
dedication The dedication page.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
plainpage A general class for page.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────

Use these classes on a container. These classes already insert page
breaks before the container so you need not insert page breaks on your
own.

.. container:: titlepage

| Pride and Prejudice
|
| Written by Jane Austen.

PG-RST Extensions

You can create custom roles based on the existing ones. This is how you
create and then use custom roles.

.. role:: small−caps
:class: small−caps

This text is in :small−caps:`Small Caps`.

This text is in _Small Caps_.

You can attach more than one class to a role:

.. role:: big−and−bold
:class: x−large bold

This text is :big−and−bold:`big and bold`.

This text is *big and bold*.

Styles

You can redefine the rendering of elements:

.. style:: emphasis
:class: gesperrt

Now *emphasis* will be rendered as gesperrt.

Now emphasis__ will be rendered as gesperrt.

.. style:: strong
:class: small−caps

And **Strong Emphasis** will be rendered as small−caps.

And *_Strong Emphasis_* will be rendered as small-caps.

.. style:: strong
:class: small−caps x−large bold

And **Strong Emphasis** will be rendered as big bold small−caps.

And *_Strong Emphasis_* will be rendered as big bold small-caps.

.. style:: literal
:class: red

``literally red``

.. style:: superscript
:class: green

:superscript:`sup`\ er

.. style:: title_reference
:class: blue

:title−reference:`Hamlet` and `Othello`.

literally red

super

_Hamlet_ and _Othello_.

You can semantically markup foreign text:

.. role:: french
:class: language−fr italics

:french:`Pas de double` is the French for "father of twins".

_Pas de double_ is the French for "father of twins".

Pagination

Pagination is important if you generate PDFs. See the Directives For
Pagination Table.

Directives For Pagination

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Directive Explanation
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
clearpage This directive inserts a page break.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
cleardoublepage This directive inserts page breaks so that the
next item starts on a right-hand page.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
vfill (PDF only.)

This directive generates ‘elastic´ vertical
space. This space expands to all of the free
space on one page. If you use this more than
once on a page, the free space is equally
divided among all invocations.

To vertically align an item to the bottom, use
vfill before that item.

To vertically align an item about 1/3 of the
page use vfill once before the item and twice
after the item.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
frontmatter (PDF only.)

Put this directive at the start of your book.

The pgheader directive uses this directive
internally, so you can omit frontmatter
whenever you use pgheader.

This directive turns on roman page numbers.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
mainmatter (PDF only.)

Put this directive after the table of contents
and before the first chapter.

This directive switches from roman page
numbering to arabic page numbering and resets
the page counter.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
backmatter (PDF only.)

Put this directive before appendices or
indices.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Table of Contents

Use the RST contents directive to automatically generate a table of
contents.

N.B. You may also provide a table of contents manually.

In PG-RST the contents directive requires you to specify an argument or
the local option.

The local option displays a local table of contents, containing only the
sub-sections of the section in which it is declared.

The page-numbers option displays the original page number in the TOC.

.. contents:: A TOC With Page Numbers
:depth: 2

Toc-Entry

Use the toc-entry directive to:

- provide an alternate toc entry
- suppress a toc entry, or
- switch toc gathering on or off.

A toc-entry with argument sets the argument as toc entry for the next
section, figure or table.

A toc-entry without argument suppresses the toc entry for the next
section, figure or table.

Use the depth option to set the depth up to which section titles are
gathered for the toc. A depth of 0 switches toc gathering off.

.. toc−entry:: An Alternative Caption

Footnotes

Always define footnotes right after the paragraph they are referenced.

Positioning of footnotes

─────────────────────────────────────────────────
Format Position
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
HTML Collected under the footnotes
directive.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
EPUB Idem.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
TXT Where they are defined.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
PDF At the bottom of the current page.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────

To collect the footnotes use the footnotes directive. This directive
will output a section with title and all footnotes in the document will
be moved inside the section.

In PDF and TXT formats the footnotes directive will do nothing.¹

Test²³ .

¹ Not even print the section title.

.. footnotes:: Footnotes
:class: smaller

² Another footnote, to test how multiple footnotes⁴ stack on one
page.

³ Later editions continued as follows:

When the sands are all dry, he is gay as a lark,
And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark,
But, when the tide rises and sharks are around,
His voice has a timid and tremulous sound.

⁴ Gibbon test. A footnote inside a footnote.

Page Numbers

The sequence [pg n] will convert into a page number marker of n. n can
be any arabic or roman numeral. The sequence itself will be removed from
the text flow leaving a page anchor. There _must_ be spaces around the
sequence. If the page break is in the middle of a word, join the word
and put the sequence at the end of the word.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam
nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt [pg 42] ut labore et dolore magna
aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo
duo dolores [pg xviii] et ea rebum.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy
eirmod tempor invidunt [pg 42] ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat,
sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores [pg
xviii] et ea rebum.

A reference to a page number can be inserted with the sequence [pg n]_.
This will generate a link to the page anchor.

See page [pg 42]_.

An invisible page number can be inserted with the sequence [pg!n].

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam
nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt [pg!43] ut labore et dolore magna
aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo
duo dolores et ea rebum. See page [pg 43]_.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy
eirmod tempor invidunt [pg!43] ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat,
sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea
rebum. See page [pg 43]_.

See page [pg iii]_.

Dropcaps

You can insert dropcaps with the dropcap directive. You can use either
an enlarged character or an image as dropcap. You can also specify a
span of character that should be set in small-caps after the dropcap
initial.

Support for dropcaps in output formats

────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Format Letter Image
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
HTML enlarged and resized and dropped

⁵ _Warning:_ If a paragraph with a dropcap gets page-broken the
dropcap may stick into the page bottom. Avoid dropcaps unless you
are sure that you are at the top of a page, like at a chapter
start.

The first argument (mandatory) states the character(s) to replace with
caps. It must match the beginning of the next paragraph.

The second (optional) argument states the characters to replace with
small-caps. It must also match the beginning of the next paragraph.

.. clearpage::

The lines option (PDF only) specifies how many lines the dropcap should
span. Default is 2.

The indents option (PDF only) can specifiy up to 2 length values. The
first one is the indent of the first line, the second one the indent of
the following lines. The indent is calculated from the right border of
the dropcap letter. Defaults are 0em and 0.5em.

The image option specifies the image url. In plain text and EPUB the
image will not be used.

Tables

Be careful with tables because the table support of many ereaders is
weak or nil.

Tables also support these options:

width Makes the table that wide.

widths A space-separated list of unitless values, each specifying the
relative width of one table column.

If you don’t use the option widths, the column widths are
calculated from the layout of the table in your source file.

aligns Horizontally align the columns.

A space-separated list of alignments, each specifying the
alignment of one column.

Valid alignments values are: left, center, right and justify.

vertical-aligns
Vertically align the columns.

A space-separated list of vertical alignments, each specifying
the alignment of one column.

Valid alignments values are: top, middle, and bottom.

Note: vertical alignment is fully supported in HTML only. Other
formats may support it in varying degrees.

summary (HTML only.)
Puts a summary attribute on the table element.

These are the extra classes supported by PG-RST:

norules
Omits the rules between table rows. (Not the rule between header
and body nor the rules at the top and bottom of the table.)

Use this class when the eye can follow the table rows without the
aid of rules.

.. table:: Demo Table

PG Metadata

Top Boilerplate

This section explains the PG boilerplate that you must put at the top of
your PG-RST file.

It looks like this:

.. −*− encoding: utf−8 −*− (1)

.. meta:: (2)
:PG.Id: 181
:PG.Title: Very Short Title
:PG.Released: 2010−11−25
:PG.Rights: Public Domain
:PG.Producer: Woody Guthrie
:PG.Producer: Pete Seeger
:PG.Producer: The Almanac Singers
:PG.Credits: This file was produced from images stolen from the Louvre.
:DC.Creator: Jane Austen
:MARCREL.edt: Mark Twain
:MARCREL.ill: Édouard Manet
:DC.Title: Full Title Statement
:DC.Language: en
:DC.Language: fr
:DC.Language: de
:DC.Created: 1900
:coverpage: images/cover.jpg

===========
Short Title (3)
===========

.. pgheader:: (4)

(1) Insert this line verbatim. It must be the first line in the text.⁶
This tells the converter to use UTF-8 encoding and is also
recognized by many editors.
(2) The metadata directive: see section below.
(3) This will be the first line of the generated files. It should say:
“The Project Gutenberg Ebook of Title” or just “Title”. Use ’=’
above and below the title.
(4) This directive inserts the PG header as generated from the
metadata.

⁶ A unicode BOM is allowed before this. In fact most Windows editors
will add a BOM without asking you.

Metadata Directive

The metadata directive contains all data that is used to generate the PG
header and the PG catalog entry.

The scheme is the part before the dot.

PG Scheme

The PG scheme holds data that is relevant to Project Gutenberg only.

PG-RST Best Practices

Images

Specify a width option in images and a figwidth option in figures and
express it in percent.

If you don’t specify a width, the converter will calculate the width
percentile for you, using the formula:

image_width / (980px * 0.8) * 100

(980px is the approx. wide of a browser window with scrollbar on a
1024px wide screen, 0.8 are 10% margins left and right.)

Expressing the image size relative to the screen width is the best way
to get images right on a wide variety of devices form iPhones to print.

owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and
you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission
and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the
General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and
distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the Project
Gutenberg™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered

this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this
eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works,
reports, performances and research. They may be modified and printed and
given away – you may do practically _anything_ with public domain
eBooks. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially
commercial redistribution.

before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the
copyright status of any work in any country outside the United States.

donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60
days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally
required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments
should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg

works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and
all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael Hart, the
owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
forth in Section 3. below.

*1.F.*

*1.F.1.* Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection.
Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but
not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription
errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a
defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

*1.F.2.* LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES – Except for the “Right
of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability
to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE
THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.
YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

*1.F.3.* LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND – If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

*1.F.4.* Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS,’ WITH NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

*1.F.5.* Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

*1.F.6.* INDEMNITY – You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works,
harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals
and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely
available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn
more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how
your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org .

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely
distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of
equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to
$5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with
the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where
we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside
the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways
including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate,
please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg™
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless
a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks
in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook’s eBook
number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
compressed (zipped), HTML and others.

Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
new filenames and etext numbers.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

http://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including
how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to
our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
