Back then I had to 'ask special permission" to look at the book. And, only in the reference room. It will be good to see an old friend again. Now where is the box with my small collection of Britain guns.<br /><br />DonBrigadier Dundashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895480319665745589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-34376524594555860762012-03-30T12:49:05.779+01:002012-03-30T12:49:05.779+01:00What a marvelous project Bob.

I have the Gutenburg text as well but I can imagine a certain satisfaction at transcribing the book rather than just perusing it and having an illustrated version available would be great.<br /><br />I would echo Jeff's suggestion to start a linked blog or web page for this. To go farther I would suggest that you open a blog and create dummy entries for each chapter working from back to front. You can then go back and edit each page with the appropriate text and pictures. You would then end up with the whol book, in order in a format that people could export and print if they chose or to browse easily in order.<br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-30583598202560712102012-03-30T11:11:42.438+01:002012-03-30T11:11:42.438+01:00Bob,
