    26th ANNIVERSARY EDITION JULY, 1997
    July 4th 1971 to July 4th 1997: nearly 1,000 Etexts online 

    Please send your feedback directly to Michael S. Hart

    Books Index update from #961 to #970. 

    We have chosen Howard Pyle's "Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" as our 26th Anniversary edition, and are still working madly on Dante's Divine Comedy in Italian and several English text translations for our 1,000th Etext, which should be released officially on September 1st. 

    This is going to be quite an effort, anyone who has not been in touch with me lately about it, please contact me again. 

    WIRED magazine's July issue listed Project Gutenberg as part of their 40 year timeline of the most important events in an extensive "informed projection" of the causes and effects of the events of the 40 years surrounding the year 2000 in four pages of foldout between pages 122 and 127. The listing for Project Gutenberg is near the top center of the four pages-- this is a very impressive list to be included in. **Blush** [I don't blush that often, but this is impressive! company.] 

    LOST EMAIL! If you haven't heard from me, see below. 

    As announced two weeks ago, Prairienet was down last week to make upgrades, and I have replied to all of the over 1400 of your emails that I received over that period, but I know the fact is that a lot of email is in the bit bucket in the sky, as our sysadmins put it, so if you have not heard from me, a resend will be necessary. . .sorry for the hassle. 

    Our email is now functioning normally but our Prairienet FTP sites are still not working, none of them, so you would have to get the files from alternate sites, listed below. 

    If you are SENDING us files, please use mrcnext right now or trixie, if mrcnext is down. 

    We still need more people with SCANNERS. . .please email our Director of Production, Dianne Bean <beand@pr.erau.edu> if a scanner is available to you. 

    We need to find a copy of: Sir D'arcy Thompson's "On Growth and Form" 1917 Cambridge University, or reprint. "Geoffrey F. Pawlicki" <geof@netcom.com>

    Michael Stern Hart Executive Director Project Gutenberg 

    We need your donations desperately. Please send what you can to: Project Gutenberg P.O. Box 2782 Champaign, IL 61825-2782 [Check should be made out to "Project Gutenberg/CMU"] 

    Thanks!
