[First Project] The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by W.H. Davies

[W. David Porter]

I'd like to make an ebook for you and I'd like to start with this one, which is on your wanted list. The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by W.H. Davies, 1917.

There is only one copy on Project Gutenberg. The one you link to on your wanted list

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/51425

This scan on archive.org

https://archive.org/details/autobiographyofs00davi/page/n13/mode/2up has the same cover as the transcript on project gutenberg, so I suspect they are the same publication. 

Are you interested? May I begin?

Great, that one would be a good start.

This book has a preface so you'll have to add a half title page, see the
manual for that. Otherwise this will be pretty straightforward.

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:

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! :)

Hello,

I too wanted to propose this as a first project for me, but don't want to step on any toes.

Has there been progress on this book?  Is there any way I can help?

Cheers,
