If you’re looking for something fun yet productive to work on over the holiday break, why not volunteer to help create a new eBook edition of a long-forgotten novel? We produce quite a few of these in collaboration with Distributed Proofreaders, as described in this earlier post. Our latest title to become available is An Old Man’s Darling, an early novel by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller, author of the local favorite, The Bride of the Tomb. It was first serialized in The New York Family Story Paper (starting in issue #407) before being reprinted in book form. If you want to join in and help out, just pay a visit to the project page and get started!
