Project BookishMall.com Etexts are often created from several printed editions, al of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usual y do not keep etexts in compliance with any particular paper edition. We are now trying to release al our etexts one year in advance of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be encouraged to tel us about any error or corrections, even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official release date of al Project BookishMall.com Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to do so.

We produce about two mil ion dol ars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our projected audience is one hundred mil ion readers. If the value per text is nominal y estimated at one dol ar then we produce $2 mil ion dol ars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50

new Etext files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 4000+ If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total should reach over 300 bil ion Etexts given away by year's end. The Goal of Project BookishMall.com is to Give Away One Tril ion Etext Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Tril ion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred mil ion readers, which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

At our revised rates of production, we wil reach only one-third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000

Etexts. We need funding, as wel as continued efforts by volunteers, to maintain or increase our production and reach our goals.

The Project BookishMall.com Literary Archive Foundation has been created to secure a future for Project BookishMall.com into the next mil ennium.
