[Next Project] The Final Count

[Chris Spurgeon]

I thought I'd proceed onto the next Bulldog Drummond book, The Final Count. (number 4 in the series).

I found a transcription online at https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20120807 , but I can't seem to find the page scans anywhere (The Internet Archive has a few pages available at https://archive.org/details/bwb_KO-918-920/ , but the majority of pages are hidden.)

Is it possible to proceed without page scans as a source of truth?

[Chris Spurgeon]

Ironically, I can pick up an actual dead tree vintage copy of the book online for less than $20.

Sure, send a link to your repo once you start!

We can't use those particular page scans anyway because there's no
copyright date on them. Presumably that's why IA has made them
unavailable. You'll have to find scans that list a copyright daet.

Here’s one at Hathi that has both Third Round and The Final Count. Publish date is 1937, but the copyrights are 1923, 1924, 1926, so my understanding is that it’s OK.

[Alex Cabal]

Yup, those would work, thanks Vince!

OK, repo set up at https://github.com/chrisspurgeon/h-c-mcneile_the-final-count .

I'll be using the transcription from fadedpage at https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20120807 , and the page images from HathiTrust at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x000470072&seq=323 . I'm using toolset version 4.0.3.

[Alex Cabal]

OK, Robin will manage with Weijia reviewing.

Ok, noted.
