in reply to Project Gutenberg • • •How soon before we can find some of these on Project Gutenberg? Should I head over now to take a look?
There are several of interest to me in that long list, but the 12 yr old part of me that loved all things magik really wants to read the Blackstone book.

in reply to D. B. Stuck • • •@MyWoolyMastadon It varies quite a lot, depending either on a solo volunteer (PG) or several volunteers at @DProofreaders
On the other hand, some of them are already available at @FadedPage (DPC) and then their Project Manager will be able to post at PG pretty soon.
