I'd love to crack this one off the list for a first book. I tried to check, it didn't look like anyone else had started it yet. Thanks!

Great, that one would be a good start.

I see there's at least one footnote that you'll have to pull out into an
endnotes file. Once you find the page scans, eyeball each page to see if
there's any missing formatting--this PG production looks like it *might*
have removed formatting but we can't tell for sure until you look at the
page scans.

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:

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 mark you as having started.

Have fun! :)

I'm going to cancel this one, I have been unable to devote time to this, so how do I mark this as available for others to work on?
