[New Project] The Moon Maid by Edgar Rice Burroughs

[David Grigg]

I'm temporarily running out of steam on Boswell's Life of Johnson, and would like a change of pace.

The Moon Maid is on our moderate-difficulty list because we want the 1926 edition and our website says it needs transcription, but I see that Faded Page has a transcription of that edition, so in fact it's probably a fairly easy production.

What do you think, can I do it, or should we transfer it to the "First Production" list?

[David Grigg]

Regardless of whether I do it or someone else, I managed to find a reasonable version online of the cover of the original book by J. Allen St.John without the title and author, and did a bit of heroic ML scaling up after cropping a bit to reduce the amount of sky.

Attached is the unscaled version I found for cover.source.jpg, and the scaled up version for cover.jpg.

PG now has it: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/69338

So we can just use the PG version. Cover looks good!

So is it OK for me to go ahead and work on it?

Just letting you know that I am still working on this project, it hasn’t been abandoned, just neglected. I hope to wrap it up in the next couple of weeks.

[David Grigg]

All right, this is now ready for review: https://github.com/drgrigg/edgar-rice-burroughs_the-moon-maid ,

Be gentle, it's a while since I completed a production, and I'm getting rusty!

[Alex Cabal]

Looks great David, nothing to note! I've gone ahead and released it. Thanks!
