This is an index of the first 100 Project Gutenberg Etexts [gutindex.100]
For now the 1994 Etexts are being stored in etext/etext93 so you can get
them more easily for Holiday Season gift giving. In 1994 they will move
to etext/etext94. For those who wish to volunteer early, we should like
to try to get the 200th Etext out by Thanksgiving, 1994, as we have seen
that a huge portion of you are rarely on the nets during the Holidays.
"If what you did yesterday still looks good to you
--then your goals for tomorrow are not big enough."
[Ling Fu Yu, ca 600 B.C.]
[A "C" following the number indicates a copyrighted Etext. When we get
the permission to post a copyrighted Etext in our CDROMs, or on another
fee-based access medium, the "C" will be changed to a lower cased "c"].
You may note that by the standards by which we started Project Gutenberg
in 1971 that the following list contains closer to 300 Etext titles, for
we originally indexed each book of the Bible, and each Shakespeare play,
major poem, and the Sonnets, as a single file, most of which were larger
than our entire output for the 1970's. By those standards the Bible and
Shakespeare alone represent nearly 150 titles [two Bible editions] and a
new Shakespeare is in the works.
This is an index of the first 100 Project Gutenberg Etexts [gutindex.100] mh
