Distributed Proofreaders have now posted 15,000 unique titles to Project Gutenberg.

Remember that there is no commitment expected on this site beyond the understanding that you do your best.

Proofread as often or as seldom as you like, and as many or as few pages as you like. We encourage people to do 'a page a day', but it's entirely up to you! We hope you will join us in our mission of 'preserving the literary history of the world in a freely available form for everyone to use'.

Nice concept, many editors gang-tackling a public-domain book a page at a time. If you're sharp-eyed and literate, they'd love to welcome to to their proofreader corps..

Btw, number 15,000 is Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society - Vol 1 - 1666 by Various.
