Hi,

I'd like to try my hand at producing an ebook for SE. For my first project, I was considering A Lost Lady by Willa Cather. It's relatively short and doesn't appear to have many formatting challenges. I'm open to working on a different title if need be.

PG: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/65636

Page scans: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.213611/mode/2up

Thanks!

Best,

Dylan

Actually this one is too short; since it's about 35k words it's below
our limit for individual books and would instead go in a Willa Cather
short fiction omnibus.

Our minimum word count for individual books is 40k words.

Good to know, thanks! Perhaps I could pivot slightly to The Professor's House, also by Willa Cather. This seems similarly straightforward and sits at ~60k words.

Great, that one would be a good start.

There is an epigraph and a dedication, see the manual for how to style
those.

Since there is frontmatter, you'll have to include a half title page,
you can do that with `se add-file halftitlepage`.

The book is in three parts. Use roman numerals for the part numbers, see
the manual for how to structure them, in particular the `data-parent`
attribute.

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 follow
it exactly:

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! :)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to touch base on progress before I proceed. I'm currently at the proofreading stage, having just built the spine and TOC.

For full disclosure, I made a few edits in my "Manually add additional semantics" commit that may have been better suited for a later editorial commit. For example:

When adding semantic elements to Æneid, I removed the "Æ" at the same time, making Aeneid
There were a few instances where I was adding elements to a word that was missing from the PG transcription but present in the original text. For example, in chapter-1-7, the PG transcription reads "I envious," while the text should read, "I am envious."

Hopefully this isn't a huge issue, and let me know if there's anything I should change. Thanks!

Best,

Dylan

Removing the ligature needs to be rebased out of that commit and separated into an editorial commit. Fixing the PG transcription is not editorial so it doesn't need to be separated, but if you can rebase it out it is better to do so. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions on rebasing.

Sounds good - it should be fixed now. The ligatures are now removed in a separate editorial commit.

Some comments:

https://github.com/dycook7/willa-cather_the-professors-house/commit/af195ff588dcb7a61f03e83fad098401e84ffc9f This commit still appears to have some ligature changes.

https://github.com/dycook7/willa-cather_the-professors-house/commit/02982664524b180d5005a85356d3606ccc1107fa This commit is a little confusing, because you add in the ligatures, and then take them out again. The commit history will be much easier to understand for your reviewer if you simply drop this commit from the history and avoid removing those ligatures entirely.

https://github.com/dycook7/willa-cather_the-professors-house/commit/722d4ea327aec1ddb18f6feaee3ac3a85cffc20d Changing quotation mark curling is not considered editorial.

Noted, it should be fixed now. Thanks for the feedback!

I went back some of my earlier commits to more cleanly isolate my changes. In doing so, I accidentally merged my commits for "Semanticate" and "Manually added additional semantics." Apologies, as I know this is not preferred. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to fix this.

Best,

Dylan

Combining those changes is definitely a problem. Reviewers have to go through your review history step by step, and reviewing semantics from the tool vs. reviewing semantics that are manually inserted requires different levels of attention.

I think you should be able to use this approach to split the commit: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6217314

Make a note of what changes you made in manual semantics addition. (Note also that in your commit, you included some unwanted changes like restoring commas in front of em dashes. Our style, as enforced by typogrify, is to remove commas in front of em dashes. We will want to omit those kinds of typographical changes from the manual semantics commit. Focus on changes that involve semantic tags.)

Then use git reset as the Stack Overflow post mentions. You can then run semanticate and make a commit with only the tool-generated changes, and then make a second commit with your manual changes.

Understood. It might not be the most time efficient, but I think my best course of action is to revert to an earlier commit and restart from there. I think it would be more formative to go through the steps (correctly this time) than to retroactively fix issues I may have accumulated. It should go faster now that I have some practical experience. I'll touch base again when I get to proofreading step.

Thanks for the input!

Dylan

Of course! I agree that it will go much faster this time now that you know what you are doing. The first project often involves ironing out wrinkles like this. It will become second nature in future projects.

Hi everyone

I've retraced my steps back to the proofreading stage. My repository is now a branch off the main one (called "restart-from-initial") that can be found here. I tried to follow the guide to the letter. I have a number of commits with tiny changes, but at least my work is more traceable now. Let me know if there's anything I should do, but otherwise, off to proofreading!

Hi everyone,

I've finished proofreading the book and updating the repository accordingly. There are a couple things I wanted to bring up:

The book seems to alternate between using italics and quotation marks for books. I standardized all of these to bring them in line with the SEMOS (e.g. "Tom Sawyer" --> Tom Sawyer). This is in its own commit.
Cather does a weird thing where she sometimes puts a comma before an em dash (e.g. "Mrs. St. Peter laughed,—a pleasant, easy laugh with genuine amusement in it."). She doesn't do this with every em dash, so it seems to be intentional. These commas were all removed by typogrify. I could not find a part of the SEMOS that addressed a case like this, so let me know if I should leave them excluded or put them back in.

As for cover art, this image from the pre-approved database seems perfect. There's an adobe village on top of a mesa that factors significantly into the second half of the novel.

Let me know if I should proceed or if there's anything else I should do first!

Best,

Dylan

1. Yes, that's correct.

2. We should go by what the toolset does in this case.

The image looks good. I assigned it to your book.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the hiatus - I've been busy lately. I added the cover and proceeded onto editing the content, imprint, and colophon files. I now have a couple final questions as I'm running se lint (output pasted below).

1) The text references Brahms' A German Requiem, which I believe should be italicized because it is a major work. However, this is not an opera or a song, so I'm not really sure what would be appropriate in this case.

2) There seems to be an issue with the link to the page scans specifically in the colophon that I can't seem to fix. The same link pasted into other files does not throw up this error.

3) Let me know if I should edit local.css or leave it be.

Thanks!

Best,

Dylan

I see. Would you mind overriding the contents of main with the restart-from-initial branch before the review, so it will be clearer for the reviewer what is going on? You can use `git reset --hard restart-from-initial` and force push the changes.

Yep, had another one come in at the same time. I’ll get to it this week.

All right, after a bit of searching because A Lost Lady wasn’t on the project page (a new thread apparently wasn’t started after the switch to Professor’s House, the review is done. Several things to take care of, but none of them are major.

Hi everyone,

I've addressed the reviewer feedback to the best of my ability. Here are my responses for any unchecked items:

1) I'm personally not getting any errors when I run lint.

2) "The Spanish Adventurers" is a fictional monograph that's worked on by the titular professor. It's unclear in the text whether this is a single book in multiple parts or a multi-volume work.

3) The instance in chapter-1-15 is not a single quotation, it's the plural possessive form of "Marcellus."

4) I'm not sure how to otherwise format the "prose poem" in chapter-1-2.

I must admit that I no longer have the bandwidth to continue working on this project to the extent it seems to require. I can make a few minor fixes if they are essential to the book’s release, but I’m not able to take on further rounds of detailed revisions.

If additional work is needed beyond that, I’m happy for it to be completed by others who have the capacity to do so. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute!

Best,

Dylan

I replied on GitHub with what remains; only four things left, should take less than five minutes.

I just made the few minor fixes. Hopefully it's acceptable. Thanks!
