Our Dime Novel and Popular Literature collection contains quite a variety of 19th-century melodramas, and several of these have gone through the rounds of Distributed Proofreaders in the past to create convenient eBook editions. However, one of the most successful American genre authors of the period, Laura Jean Libbey, has not yet been featured in our eBook creation efforts. With our latest project, that oversight is addressed: A Dangerous Flirtation will be the first of the prolific author’s many romantic works contributed from our collection to Project Gutenberg.

To help create a new electronic edition of this forgotten novel, first read this blog post to learn about the process, then join in the work at the project page.
