Installing EpubMaker

EpubMaker is Project Gutenberg’s file converter. It can convert from PG-RST to HTML, EPUB, PDF and plain text.

Windows

Prerequisites

1. Install Python.

Assuming you don’t have python yet. If you have either version 2.6 or 2.7 already installed, skip this.

From http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/ download the Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7) and run it.

Select all the default options and install.

2. Install Python Setuptools.

From http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools download setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe (or any newer version) and run it.

If you are using python 2.6 get the setuptools for 2.6.

3. Install Groff. (You can skip this step if you don’t want to generate plain text files.)

From http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/groff.htm download Complete package, except sources - Setup (groff-1.20.1-setup.exe) and run it.

Select all the default options and install.

4. Install TexLive. (You can skip this step if you don’t want to generate PDF files.)

Go to http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet and download the file install-tl.zip. Then say:

> unzip install-tl.zip
> cd install-tl*
> install-tl

This will open the TeX Live installation wizard. Follow the instructions. When in doubt use the defaults.

This will take quite a while. (3 hours on an old Dell Vostro 1000 laptop. It installs about 2.5 GB in 93,000 files.) If you experience download problems, restart the wizard: it will resume the download where it left off.

Long installation instructions can be found at http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-150003

5. Install HTML Tidy. (You can skip this step if you only want to process RST files and don’t want to build EPUBs from HTML input.)

If you are a post-processor you already have this.

http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

6. Update your PATH.

Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables. Click "Path" in the User variables at the top. Click "Edit"

If the field is empty just enter (all in one line):

C:\Python27;
C:\Python27\Scripts;
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin;

If the field contains data, go to the end of that data and add a semicolon if there isn’t one already and then add the string above.

Click Ok three times.

EpubMaker

1. At the command prompt run:

> easy_install epubmaker

2. Test your installation:

> epubmaker --help
> epubmaker https://www.gutenberg.org/masters/rst/181/181.rst

Debian

Prerequisites

(Does not work with python 3 yet. If your distribution uses python 3 as default (not likely!), you’ll have to parallel install python 2.6 or 2.7.)

# apt-get install python python-setuptools python-lxml
# apt-get install groff tidy
# apt-get install libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev

Note: To get PDF generation to work, you have to use TeX Live version 2009-11 or newer. You can get those from debian testing or unstable. If don’t want to switch from debian stable, you have to install TeX Live manually.

If you are on testing or unstable:

# apt-get install texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-xetex
# apt-get install ttf-linux-libertine ttf-dejavu

Else, to install TeX Live manually, go to http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet and download the file install-tl-unx.tar.gz. Unpack it. Then:

# cd /path/where/unpacked
# perl install-tl -gui

Long installation instructions can be found at http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-150003

EpubMaker

# easy_install epubmaker

Kindlegen

(Optional: Used only to make Kindle files):

$ wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/kindlegen/kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v1.2.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v1.2.tar.gz

PG-RST Classes

A list of classes you can use in PG-RST.

Classes For Inline Text

These classes have an effect on inline text. If you put them on a block, all inline contents of the block will be rendered accordingly.

Classes For Block Text

These classes have an effect on block text. Please do not confuse the alignment of the block with the alignment of the text in the block. Eg. a table can be centered, while the text inside the table is left-aligned. The alignment of the block is set with the align option.

Classes For Block Text

Class

Explanation

Left-aligns the text in the block.

center

Centers the text in the block.

right

Right-aligns the text in the block.

justify

Justifies the text in the block.

white-space-pre-line

Classes For Front Matter Markup

EpubMaker includes a few classes to markup front matter. While it is not necessary to do this, it adds value. In future the PG catalog might automatically extract not only the cover page but also the title page, verso, etc.

Classes For Front Matter Markup

Class

Explanation

coverpage

The cover page.

frontispiece

The frontispiece.

titlepage

The title page.

verso

The title page verso.

dedication

The dedication page.

plainpage

A general class for page.

Use these classes on a container. These classes already insert page breaks before the container so you need not insert page breaks on your own.

.. container:: titlepage

| Pride and Prejudice
|
| Written by Jane Austen.

PG-RST Extensions

You can create custom roles based on the existing ones. This is how you create and then use custom roles.

.. role:: small-caps
:class: small-caps

This text is in :small-caps:`Small Caps`.

This text is in Small Caps.

You can attach more than one class to a role:

.. role:: big-and-bold
:class: x-large bold

This text is :big-and-bold:`big and bold`.

This text is big and bold.

Styles

You can redefine the rendering of elements:

.. style:: emphasis
:class: gesperrt

Now *emphasis* will be rendered as gesperrt.

Now emphasis will be rendered as gesperrt.

.. style:: strong
:class: small-caps

And **Strong Emphasis** will be rendered as small-caps.

And Strong Emphasis will be rendered as small-caps.

.. style:: strong
:class: small-caps x-large bold

And **Strong Emphasis** will be rendered as big bold small-caps.

And Strong Emphasis will be rendered as big bold small-caps.

.. style:: literal
:class: red

``literally red``

.. style:: superscript
:class: green

:superscript:`sup`\ er

.. style:: title_reference
:class: blue

:title-reference:`Hamlet` and `Othello`.

literally red
super

Hamlet and Othello.

You can semantically markup foreign text:

.. role:: french
:class: language-fr italics

:french:`Pas de double` is the French for "father of twins".

Pas de double is the French for "father of twins".

Pagination

Pagination is important if you generate PDFs. See the Directives For Pagination Table.

Directives For Pagination

Directive

Explanation

clearpage

This directive inserts a page break.

cleardoublepage

This directive inserts page breaks so that the next item starts on a right-hand page.

vfill

(PDF only.)

This directive generates `elastic´ vertical space. This space expands to all of the free space on one page. If you use this more than once on a page, the free space is equally divided among all invocations.

To vertically align an item to the bottom, use vfill before that item.

To vertically align an item about 1/3 of the page use vfill once before the item and twice after the item.

frontmatter

(PDF only.)

Put this directive at the start of your book.

The pgheader directive uses this directive internally, so you can omit frontmatter whenever you use pgheader.

This directive turns on roman page numbers.

mainmatter

(PDF only.)

Put this directive after the table of contents and before the first chapter.

This directive switches from roman page numbering to arabic page numbering and resets the page counter.

backmatter

(PDF only.)

Put this directive before appendices or indices.

Table of Contents

Use the RST contents directive to automatically generate a table of contents.

N.B. You may also provide a table of contents manually.

In PG-RST the contents directive requires you to specify an argument or the local option.

The local option displays a local table of contents, containing only the sub-sections of the section in which it is declared.

The page-numbers option displays the original page number in the TOC.

Toc-Entry

Use the toc-entry directive to:

- provide an alternate toc entry

- suppress a toc entry, or

- switch toc gathering on or off.

A toc-entry with argument sets the argument as toc entry for the next section, figure or table.

A toc-entry without argument suppresses the toc entry for the next section, figure or table.

Use the depth option to set the depth up to which section titles are gathered for the toc. A depth of 0 switches toc gathering off.

.. toc-entry:: An Alternative Caption

Footnotes

Always define footnotes right after the paragraph they are referenced.

Positioning of footnotes

Format

Position

HTML

Collected under the footnotes directive.

EPUB

Idem.

TXT

Where they are defined.

PDF

At the bottom of the current page.

To collect the footnotes use the footnotes directive. This directive will output a section with title and all footnotes in the document will be moved inside the section.

In PDF and TXT formats the footnotes directive will do nothing.[1]

Test[2][3] .

.. footnotes:: Footnotes
:class: smaller

Page Numbers

The sequence [pg n] will convert into a page number marker of n. n can be any arabic or roman numeral. The sequence itself will be removed from the text flow leaving a page anchor. There must be spaces around the sequence. If the page break is in the middle of a word, join the word and put the sequence at the end of the word.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam
nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt [pg 42] ut labore et dolore magna
aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo
duo dolores [pg xviii] et ea rebum.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt [pg 42] ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores [pg xviii] et ea rebum.

A reference to a page number can be inserted with the sequence [pg n]_. This will generate a link to the page anchor.

See page [pg 42]_.

See page [pg 42]_.

An invisible page number can be inserted with the sequence [pg!n].

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam
nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt [pg!43] ut labore et dolore magna
aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo
duo dolores et ea rebum. See page [pg 43]_.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt [pg!43] ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. See page [pg 43]_.

See page [pg iii]_.

Dropcaps

You can insert dropcaps with the dropcap directive. You can use either an enlarged character or an image as dropcap. You can also specify a span of character that should be set in small-caps after the dropcap initial.

Support for dropcaps in output formats

The first argument (mandatory) states the character(s) to replace with caps. It must match the beginning of the next paragraph.

The second (optional) argument states the characters to replace with small-caps. It must also match the beginning of the next paragraph.

.. clearpage::

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

The lines option (PDF only) specifies how many lines the dropcap should span. Default is 2.

The indents option (PDF only) can specifiy up to 2 length values. The first one is the indent of the first line, the second one the indent of the following lines. The indent is calculated from the right border of the dropcap letter. Defaults are 0em and 0.5em.

The image option specifies the image url. In plain text and EPUB the image will not be used.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

Tables

Be careful with tables because the table support of many ereaders is weak or nil.

Tables also support these options:

width

Makes the table that wide.

widths

A space-separated list of unitless values, each specifying the relative width of one table column.

If you don’t use the option widths, the column widths are calculated from the layout of the table in your source file.

aligns

Horizontally align the columns.

A space-separated list of alignments, each specifying the alignment of one column.

Valid alignments values are: left, center, right and justify.

vertical-aligns

Vertically align the columns.

A space-separated list of vertical alignments, each specifying the alignment of one column.

Valid alignments values are: top, middle, and bottom.

Note: vertical alignment is fully supported in HTML only. Other formats may support it in varying degrees.

summary (HTML only.)

Puts a summary attribute on the table element.

These are the extra classes supported by PG-RST:

norules

Omits the rules between table rows. (Not the rule between header and body nor the rules at the top and bottom of the table.)

Use this class when the eye can follow the table rows without the aid of rules.

.. table:: Demo Table

PG Metadata

Top Boilerplate

This section explains the PG boilerplate that you must put at the top of your PG-RST file.

It looks like this:

.. -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- (1)

.. meta:: (2)
:PG.Id: 181
:PG.Title: Very Short Title
:PG.Released: 2010-11-25
:PG.Rights: Public Domain
:PG.Producer: Woody Guthrie

:coverpage: images/cover.jpg

===========
Short Title (3)
===========

.. pgheader:: (4)

1. Insert this line verbatim. It must be the first line in the text.[6] This tells the converter to use UTF-8 encoding and is also recognized by many editors.

2. The metadata directive: see section below.

3. This will be the first line of the generated files. It should say: “The Project Gutenberg Ebook of Title” or just “Title”. Use ’=’ above and below the title.

4. This directive inserts the PG header as generated from the metadata.

Metadata Directive

The metadata directive contains all data that is used to generate the PG header and the PG catalog entry.

The scheme is the part before the dot.

PG Scheme

The PG scheme holds data that is relevant to Project Gutenberg only.

Fields In the PG Scheme

Name

Contents

PG.Id

The ebook number.

PG.Released

The PG release date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

PG.Rights

Either ’Public Domain’ or ’Copyrighted’.

PG.Title

A much shortened form of the title. Used in the PG boilerplate in the lines that say: “Start of this PG ebook …” and “End of this PG ebook …”.

PG.Producer

A personal name or organization that helped produce this text. This field may appear more than once. Don’t put more than one name into one field. Repeat the field if necessary.

PG.Credits

A line acknowledging the source of the images or other stuff.

DC Scheme

This scheme holds standard Dublincore stuff and is used by many search engines and the PG cataloguing software.

Fields In the DC Scheme

Name

Contents

DC.Creator

Author. A personal name or organization that created the text. May appear more than once. Don’t put more than one name into one field. Repeat the field if necessary.

DC.Title

The full title statement as found on the book’s title page.

DC.Language

The 2 or 3 letter code for all languages used for substantial portions of the text. May appear more than once. Don’t put more than one code into one field. Repeat the field if necessary. The languages listed here are indicative for the catalog and do not set the text language and hyphenation rules. Use the option class language-<language-code> for that.

DC.Created

The year of original publication if known.

MARCREL Scheme

This is used to record contributors to the text. All these fields may appear more than once. Don’t put more than one name into one field. Repeat the field if necessary.

Fields In the MARCREL Scheme

Name

Contents

MARCREL.edt

Editor

MARCREL.ill

Illustrator

MARCREL.trl

Translator

MARCREL.*

See the full list of MARC relator codes.

No Scheme

Some fields are associated with none of the above schemes.

Fields Without Scheme

Name

Contents

coverpage

A coverpage for those formats (eg. Kindle) that support a cover page. This image must be included in the upload but must not necessarily be put in the text flow.

Bottom Boilerplate

You must put this at the very bottom of your PG-RST file.

.. pgfooter:: (1)

1. This directive inserts the PG footer and license.

PG-RST Best Practices

Images

Specify a width option in images and a figwidth option in figures and express it in percent.

If you don’t specify a width, the converter will calculate the width percentile for you, using the formula:

image_width / (980px * 0.8) * 100

(980px is the approx. wide of a browser window with scrollbar on a 1024px wide screen, 0.8 are 10% margins left and right.)

Expressing the image size relative to the screen width is the best way to get images right on a wide variety of devices form iPhones to print.

.. toc-entry:: Richard and Drucilla Martin

.. figure:: images/cover.jpg
:align: center
:alt: Richard and Drucilla Martin

:lb:`Richard Martin was a slave in Memphis, Tennessee.
Drucilla Martin was a slave in Giles County, Tennessee.`

The legend consists of all elements after the caption. Lorem

‘Speak roughly to your little boy,

And beat him when he sneezes:

He only does it to annoy,

Because he knows it teases.’

CHORUS.

(In which the cook and the baby joined):—

‘Wow! wow! wow!’

Summer wanes, the children are grown;

Fun and frolic no more he knows;

Robert of Lincoln’s a humdrum crone;

Off he flies and we sing as he goes:

Bob-o’link, bob-o’-link,

Spink, spank, spink;

When you can pipe that merry old strain,

Robert of Lincoln, come back again.

Chee, chee, chee.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg™ work (any work on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United States, you will have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg™.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works provided that:

- • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

- • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

- • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.

- • You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
