[First Project] Imperium in Imperio by Sutton E. Griggs

[Samuel]

Happy Monday, everyone. I’m a big admirer of the project and would like to contribute a production. :)

Imperium in Imperio caught my eye from the Wanted Ebooks list. It looks like someone proposed it on the mailing list in February 2025, but it wasn’t seen through.

Thanks!
Sam Liff

Forgot to note, I'm planning to use this scan: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/101660665

And here's the PG link: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15454

Great, that one would be a good start.

This has frontmatter in the form of two fictional prefaces so you'll
include a half title. Make sure to use "fiction" semantics for them.

It looks like each chapter has titled subchapters, see the manual for
how to structure that.

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! :)
