NetLibrary / Guttenberg Project

I created a logon fpr Netlibrary, and displayed the "Mathematics and Statistics" booklist. There were 50 titles listed and most of them seemed priced rather high (2 out of 50 were priced below $50.)

The Gutenberg Project site was more to my tastes because it provides free downloads. I looked at the "Top 100 Downloads" and noticed that "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe was listed. This version was a French and English translation illustrated by Gustave Dore. I had a dnice Bibliographic record as well as copies of the illustrations.

I was interested in posting a digital copy of books we have scanned, so I clicked on "How to Donate." I discovered this was how to donate funds to support the Gutenberg Project.
