The books listed here have been requested by various DP users who would like to see them run through the Rounds and posted to Project Gutenberg. Each book's page scans are already available at The Internet Archive or another site, and a link to those scans is provided.
This page is divided into two sections - the first includes only books that are part of the public domain in the U.S. and, therefore, eligible for clearance; the second includes books with unknown copyright status. Interested CP/PMs will need to research & find out if those books are eligible for clearance.
