For my next project I was thinking of doing Oil!, by Upton Sinclair. As of this year it's in the public domain.
I anticipate it being quite difficult to find a suitable cover image, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
One question; each chapter is split into sections with roman numeral headings. King Coal had a similar layout but no chapters, so those became chapters. In Oil! they seem roughly equivalent to <hr> tags in other SE books. What should I do with them?

They are what you called them—sections. :) They are subchapters, so each will need its own section and h#. There are lots of examples in the corpus, just search for subchapter.

OK, sure. There's a fair amount of artwork on industrial subjects like
coal mining and manufacturing. That might be close enough for something
like this.
Please send a link to your repo once you get started. Thanks!

Quick update on this; currently in the middle of the full proof read.
In the meantime, here's one possibility for a cover: https://www.si.edu/object/burning-oil-well-night-near-rouseville-pennsylvania:saam_1977.50. It's CC0 at the Smithsonian so I think it should be OK to use. There is a scene in the book involving an oil well catching fire, so it's reasonably appropriate.
Here's one possibility of how it could look as a cover:

I think it's a possibility but the detail is blocked by the title box.
Without seeing the actual well or person it looks like a volcano or
something. Can you try cropping it so we can see more of the lower detail?

Hmmm. Here's a closer crop to make some of the foreground characters more visible. There's still not an awful lot of detail to show exactly what it is though - although maybe the title gives some context.
Thoughts?

All right, Alex, I believe this is ready for you.
Notes:
- Semanticate wants to put an “eoc” on an abbreviation in a headline, but since it’s a headline and not a sentence, it wasn’t accepted.
- Modernize spelling wants to change Cañon to Canyon, but it’s on a Spanish sign, which would use the tilde, so it wasn’t accepted, either.
- There is a ship and two boats.
- There is a CSS class for headlines because there are over a dozen of them across five chapters and listing them individually using nth-of-type would be unwieldy.

Great work Job!
As I look this over I see that Sinclair uses a lot of scare quotes for
words that are now common.
For example:
> The price of “gas” of course began to mount immediately.
> hand you a little slip with the amount of your “bail” noted on it,
> He liked to “josh” the waitress;
> and it was so difficult to keep the “soreheads” quiet!
> here he was with a desire to “root” for the enemies of his country
> Behind the “filling station” was a little cabinet
We should remove scare quotes like this in an editorial commit because
they look out of place to today's reader. I found these using this
regex: “[a-z ]+” However not all of the matches should have quotes
removed, it's a matter of context.
Unfortunately there are quite a lot of matches so this may take some
time to go through and make sure we don't remove scare quotes that
belong for prosodic effect.

We should remove scare quotes like this in an editorial commit because
they look out of place to today's reader. I found these using this
regex: “[a-z ]+” However not all of the matches should have quotes
removed, it's a matter of context.
Unfortunately there are quite a lot of matches so this may take some
time to go through and make sure we don't remove scare quotes that
belong for prosodic effect.

Alright, I've had a go at this and updated the repo. The regex I ended up using is `“([a-z -]+[\.,]?)”`. I found it quite difficult to identify a definite line, but I've tried to be as consistent as possible. I've left in pretty much anything related to industry (e.g. oil, real estate, film-making) unless it is fairly ubiquitous and unambiguous today.

I’m going to leave this for Alex. He’s far better qualified than I to judge what should stay and what should go.
