More information.

Here are the volumes I have. I'm willing to scan in anything
that someone is willing to proofread:

Following the Equator
The Innocents Abroad
A Tramp Abroad
The Prince and the Pauper
The American Claimant, etc.
Christian Science [scanned, not proofread]
Pudd'nhead Wilson
The Gilded Age
Roughing It
Life on the Mississippi
The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, etc.
Literary Essays
The $30,000 Bequest, etc.
Sketches New and Old
A Connecticut Yankee [completely done]
Tom Sawyer [scanned, I will proofread next week]
Tom Sawyer Abroad, etc. [almost everything is done]
Huckleberry Finn

To proofread you must have a copy printed before
1917 (preferably from "The Works of Mark Twain" but
it doesn't have to be.) I can provide a few chapters
at a time, or all at once.

The shortest books above are "The Prince and the Pauper"
and "Christian Science". Some books have smaller type
than others -- the larger type scans better, and fewer
corrections are needed. All the two volume books have
large type, fortunately.

I've appended a list of works Internet Wiretap has
released. Since we are trying not to duplicate the work
Project Gutenberg is doing, it would be nice to have
more obscure works done as well. We aren't limited to
Twain either, anything PD will do.
