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

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! :)

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,

Hi Jim, sure, you can start on this one as the previous attempt was
abandoned. See my previous email which you replied to for notes and how
to get started, and then send me a link to your Github repo once you
start so we can assign you a manager and reviewier.

Hi all,

Alex asked me to update the status of this book.

I reached the "Proofreading" stage. I've done so, making edits in a notebook rather than direct to my computer. (It's more convenient for me that way.) I need to get back to the project and enter those edits into the files. When that's finished, I'll post a message here.

In the meantime, two more questions popped up for me:

1. Although the style guide says chapter numbers are discouraged if chapter titles are present, the original book has both (with chapter numbers in Roman numerals), such as here: https://archive.org/details/bwb_KU-774-725/page/182/mode/2up Is there a preference in this case?

2. Is there any special formatting I should know about for prefaces? I've currently formatted it as though it's another chapter (although without a chapter number).

Thanks,

-- Jim

I think that’s a misunderstanding of the manual, but by all means point me at where it says that? Either way, for the example you gave, I’d go with:

</hgroup>

For prefaces, yes, mostly as per chapters. You’ll want z3998:non-fiction, and the signature / dateline at the end would be in a footer which would be styled with https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.7/single-page#7.7.4.2. As you’ve got frontmatter you’ll need a half title page. You can add that with:

se add-file halftitlepage .

Ah, I should have double-checked the manual before asking about chapter titles. What I saw in the manual some time back (at https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.7/8-typography#8.1.4) was this:

> Chapter titles omit the word Chapter, unless the word used is a stylistic choice for prose style purposes.

I mixed that up with numbering. I'll follow the example you gave me, as well add the half title page.

Hello,

I finished transferring my proofreading notes to the digital files. I tried to use a light touch when editing the prose, especially for things like compound words. se lint reports some errors, including a couple marked Manual Review that I'm uncertain how to correct (or even if they should be corrected).

How should I proceed? I feel I should have these issues settled before I continue.

Thanks,

-- Jim

If you're not clear what lint is telling you, or how to proceed, you should post here with the details, and links to the transcription or scans where relevant for the affected text. Your manager will help you to sort these issues out before moving to review.

(Btw - unless I misunderstand you, there's no need to "edit" the text: it's more a matter of ensuring that SE's conventions on semantics and typography are followed in the xhtml markup. Perhaps this is what you have in mind, though.)

Hope that helps - David / Fife, UK

Sorry, I missed this one. Lint’s reporting quite a few problems. Let’s look at each:

If you’re on the latest version of the toolkit you’ll see a load of errors about ordinals. That’s easily fixed: find and replace <h2 epub:type="ordinal z3998:roman"> with <h2 epub:type="z3998:ordinal z3998:roman">
Then there’s some issues with missing metadata. That’s a normal part of the production process so I’ll leave it with you, but just ask if you have specific help needed.
In chapter-1 there’s a lint error about a two-em dash being used. Here there’s a few updates to be made to meet SE’s house style. For the first paragraph, we have words that are partially obscured. We use a single two-em dash for those: https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.8/single-page#8.7.7.9.4. Further down the page (line 27) there’s a two-em dash used where it should be a single-em dash. See https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.8/single-page#8.7.7.8.
For the preface footer error, you need to add some CSS to local.css. You can copy it from https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.8/single-page#7.7.4.2.
For the wpr issue, we need to work out who wrote the preface. Any idea who G. B. S. is? Once we know, we can add them to content.opf with a wpr role.

to Standard Ebooks

Ok, I've made these changes and continued down the "Producing an ebook, step by step" page. The only step I've skipped over for now is choosing a cover, since there's so many warnings about getting the selection cleared first.

se lint w/ 3.1.0 is mostly clear. Most of the issues are related to the cover, which I can fill in once the cover image is okayed. The two variables that are not cover-related appear to be:

PAGE_SCANS_URL

PRODUCTION_NOTES

I'm not certain what to do about those. I don't think I have any production notes to add? Looking through the metadata docs, it appears the page scans URL for this book would be https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/51425, but I wanted to double-check that.

I've also added the short and long description, but will probably tweak them a bit more. I'm not entirely happy with them.

Finally, if I was to pitch a cover from the SE image collection, I think "Tramps" by Muenier (https://standardebooks.org/artworks/jules-alexis-muenier/tramps) fits the bill.

If you don’t have any production notes you can delete that section.

For the page scans URL, you’re using https://archive.org/details/bwb_KU-774-725 as the scans it seems? The Gutenberg link is the transcription. You’d use the scans to confirm any problems you see with the Gutenberg transcription.

On the cover art, that’s fine. The person reaching into the water will be behind the titlebox unless you do a tight crop on him only, but I assume you’re OK with that? I’ve assigned it to this production, so go ahead with it.
