for free download from Gutenberg or Archive.com which are also listed
in the 1978 Bleiler Checklist. Content codes there are omitted (great
system, but hard to explain in less than a page) but collections are
marked with a C unless obvious. I hope to do this once a week; my list
is finished.
I hope you feel adventurous and read some of these.

This doesn't appear to be at either PG or IA. Google search leads to a
Google Books preview but that is limited access - to only some pages.
Can you post its link, if you have one.
A decorated version of your list, with download links except for above
story, is here:

"George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little
mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at
all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty
seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep
people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains."
- "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut

The link on archive.org is www.archive.org/details.TheAbsoluteatLarge.
Unfortunately, it all seems to be HTML pages -- I did not investigate
that one or I might have left it off.
You mention in your amplification that the Bleiler is not online. No,
and it probably will never be. I asked him once about reissuing it,
and he said that he is planning to update it and print a new edition
one of these days -- he is in his 80s, or maybe 90s by now.

I wonder if access to this page is country restricted, like some Google
Book scans are. All I get is "We�re sorry, the page you have requested
is not available."

FWIW, since it entered public domain the last year, the original version
(along with all the published Karel Čapek's works) is available at
http://www.mlp.cz/capek_bibliografie.htm
