[First Project] At the Villa Rose by A. E. W. Mason

[Edlir Velaj]

Hi,

I’d like to work on At the Villa Rose by A. E. W. Mason for Standard Ebooks.
Can you confirm that it’s not already in progress and that there aren’t any preferred sources or editions I should use?

If it’s free, I’ll get started right away following the SE style and toolchain.

Thanks!
Edlir Velaj

Hi Edlir, sure, you can work on this. First, find a link to a PD edition
of the page scans and send it over.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the fast response. Here's a very good option, I think: https://archive.org/details/atvillarose00masouoft/mode/2up

Unfortunately we can't use this because the scans have no printed
publication year. You have to find scans that have the publication year
printed inside, and not just in the record metadata.

This is a legitimate scan, containing the publication year (September 2010): https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hnnxga&seq=6
There are three links for the same publication: from the Harvard University, University of Michigan and  New York Public Library. 

Alas, it seems like none of them is PD, since I can't download the whole book, only one page at a time.

OK great, please use those scans.

If you can find color versions of the frontispiece or any other
illustrations inside, you could use those as a cover.

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:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step

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! :)
