Hi,

I’d like to work on At the Villa Rose by A. E. W. Mason for Standard Ebooks.
Can you confirm that it’s not already in progress and that there aren’t any preferred sources or editions I should use?

If it’s free, I’ll get started right away following the SE style and toolchain.

Thanks!
Edlir Velaj

Hi Edlir, sure, you can work on this. First, find a link to a PD edition
of the page scans and send it over.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the fast response. Here's a very good option, I think: https://archive.org/details/atvillarose00masouoft/mode/2up

Unfortunately we can't use this because the scans have no printed
publication year. You have to find scans that have the publication year
printed inside, and not just in the record metadata.

This is a legitimate scan, containing the publication year (September 2010): https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hnnxga&seq=6
There are three links for the same publication: from the Harvard University, University of Michigan and  New York Public Library. 

Alas, it seems like none of them is PD, since I can't download the whole book, only one page at a time.

OK great, please use those scans.

If you can find color versions of the frontispiece or any other
illustrations inside, you could use those as a cover.

Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:

https://standardebooks.org/manual

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography

The step by step guide will take you from start to finish:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step

This page on common issues in older books may be useful:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks

Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.

When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can assign you a manager and reviewer.

Have fun! :)

Hello,

I've finished editing. I can't think of any more improvements on my part.
I was thinking of using this image from SE Public Domain Artworks as a cover image.
Seems fitting for this book, because the era is the same (painting from 1909, book from 1910), social status, deduced by clothing, also seems to match, and there's a scene from the beginning of the book that roughly resembles that gathering (the men sat at luncheon, talking about the fresh murder case).
Can you confirm if this is OK to use?
Thanks!

Vince may well be busy at the moment, so on the cover: in principle that image looks fine, and since it's in the SE artworks DB, is legit to use.

It looks like it could be difficult to crop, though. Could you post a mock-up of the cover? (Se SEMoS rules; there's also a helpful "how-to".) That will ensure that what you eventually commit to the repo will be good going forward.

Also, just looking in your repo now, I see you've included all the illustrations. Normally these "decorative" illustrations are just cut. I don't think we want to keep them, but perhaps Alex could confirm.

(I see you've also renamed the `cover.jpg` file for some reason? Well, that will probably come good once the proper cover has been committed.)

Hello David,

I'm attaching the cropped and a little upscaled image. I upscaled it a bit, because the original image's dimensions are 1602x2000 and we need 1400x2100. I kept the center of it, because the painting would look bad cropped otherwise. Also, there is room below for the title and author to be unobtrusive.

Thanks for the support,
Edlir

That crop works pretty well. By "mock-up", I meant including title-box - I had a go with your image and it looks like this:

cover-villa-400x600.jpg

You'll need to be the judge of the "aesthetics" of it: it might be worth experimenting with the crop-frame shifted slightly to the right, so the standing figures come into the picture more ... but then that big "portrait" might seem off-kilter.... You can see what works best!

I've gone ahead and made the assignment in the artworks DB; I don't think Vince will mind.

Thank you! This looks good to me. The three men in focus is better suited to the scene I was referring in the book, where three men are discussing around a table.
I will then go ahead and commit the cover image.

David is right, you should cut all of the illustrations in this book.
Usually I mention this at the start, but the PG transcription did not
include them, so I didn't realize this book was illustrated at all.

Any image that is not crucial to the plot, like a map in a murder
mystery, should be cut.

OK. Once you're all done with the step by step guide send a note with a
link to the repo to request a review.

Hello Alex,

I think I'm done with the step by step guide. The repo lives here https://github.com/degun/se-at-the-villa-rose.git .

Patiently waiting review notes.

Best,
Edlir

Okay, Edlir - I'm up to review this. I'll get to it in the next couple days: I'll message this list when the review is ready, which will be in the form of an "issue" in your GitHub repo.

Well done getting to this point, Edlir! There is still some tidying up to do, though, including one rebase operation (renaming commit). Please ping me from the github issue when you're done, or with any questions arising, and I'll have another look. Thanks!
