Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several
printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public
Domain in the us unless a copyright notice is
included. Thus, we usually do not keep eBooks
in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year
in advance of the official release dates, leaving
time for better editing. Please be encouraged
to tell us about any error or corrections, even years
after the official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents
are final til midnight of the last day of the month
of any such announcement. The official release
date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks 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.
