Hello, 

I would like to make my first ebook, and I want to start with "With Edged Tools" by Henry Seton Merriman.

PG Version: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8939

Great, that one would be a good start.

There's a dedication so you'll have to include a half title page.

Each chapter has an epigraph, see the manual for copy and paste HTML/CSS
for that. Most of them seem to be verse, also see the manual for copy
and paste styling for that.

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/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. Please follow
it exactly:

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! :)
