My notes on putting public domain books back into print using RST and LaTeX
by James Simmons 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Since Project Gutenberg stopped accepting RST as a format for submissions I've used it to donate three PG books and have also put all three back in print using Amazon's print on demand service. I had actually done that with quite a few books when RST was still accepted. I thought it would be a good idea to write up some notes on what I learned doing this, and I had a Goodreads blog that wasn't being used for anything, so I wrote them up and published them there: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/21812653-put-old-books-back-in-… It is surprisingly simple to convert PG texts to nicely formatted print on demand book interiors. I've even managed to sell a few of them, mostly radio books by Alfred Powell Morgan. Everything I've done for PG since the pandemic began is also available as print on demand. I hope that some of you will find these blog posts of interest. James Simmons
