[First Project] The Necromancers, by Robert Hugh Benson

[Effie Allen]

Hey! Thought I'd take a stab at producing a book, and The Necromancers is a recommended Wanted List option.

Thanks.

Great, that one would be a good start.

Cut all the front matter in the PG edition except the dedication. Since
there's a dedication, you'll have to add a half title page.

The chapters each have subchapters, which will be a sub <section> of the
main chapter. Scene breaks can be done with <hr/>.

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. Please follow
it exactly:

This page on common issues in older books may be useful:

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! :)
