that's a consideration.  let's see what greg says...
and what the other teams in the tournament say.

looks like so far it's:
>   1.  bowerbird.
>   2.  marcello.
>   3.  lee with dkretz second in line right behind him.
>   4.  jim "j-mad" adcock.
>   5.  john "limpid" redmond.
>   6.  keith.
>   7.  karl eichwalder.
>   8.  hunter "don't forget guiguts" monroe.
>   9.  carlo "garweyne" traverso, and his students.

no offense intended if i left anyone out, just let us know.
and if you're listed, but don't want to play, please say so.

3601-4800 would be 1200 books...

if we want to cut that number down
-- at least for the opening round --
i suggest 4321-4567 -- about 250...
that's enough to weed non-contenders.

it strikes me that, with e-text numbers this low,
this'll be a clean-up job rather than an exercise
in how to generate better derivative file-formats,
which is what i think greg was aiming at, but i'm
ready to go with the consensus of the tournament.

al, you'll need to point us to _canonical_versions_
of these books -- preferably at internet archive, or
someplace where you can furnish us with scans --
so we're all working toward the same end-product.

-bowerbird

p.s.  oh, and all you other teams, please take all of your
preparation plans elsewhere; we don't need to hear 'em.
the proof will be in the pudding -- where it _always_ is...
unless, that is, you want to amuse us with your fumbling.
