[Next Project] Pirates of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs

[Alexander Keane]

Standard Ebooks already has many of Edgar Rice Burroughs' other stories, the Mars stories and Tarzan stories.

It looks like Project Gutenberg has done Public Domain Clearance on the first two Venus novels, the first being Pirates of Venus.

OK, David will manage with Vince reviewing.

It looks like you found scans for the wrong book though.

Make sure to include the series metadata too.

Thanks!

OK great. Not sure if that scan is the 1st edition cover, probably not.
If you can find the first edition maybe the cover art will be suitable.

Searching for first edition hardcovers yields a few of possibilities, e.g. here and here. The second one is pretty good quality, but would need some perspective correction.

Had some issues pushing the initial commit. Realized that I typoed Burroughs as Burrows initially.

It looks like there is still an "issue" with the repo - your editor is saving backup copies automatically, it looks like. We don't want `body.xhtml~` in the repo! Can you get rid of it now, before going farther? Also, make sure your editor settings won't litter the repo....
