This project is free for any eager PPer. I've done no work on it yet, but will pick it up after some suitable time if there are no PPers wanting it.

Here's a pretty rough children's book from 1908, one of the later entries in the "Peck's Bad Boy" series of books. Please note that this book is pretty much overflowing with racist caricatures, even more so than comparable books of its time.

Also note that the printed text (all editions) was apparently very hastily put together. The illustrations are mixed up in several places, and the ToC and LoI are incomplete. A substantial portion of almost identical text also appears in two separate chapters.

Further notes on these issues in transcriber's notes in the text.
