But if you want to provide a copy of the Kama Sutra marked up in ReST, I'm sure we'd be happy to give you feedback. There are few examples available. and PG could use some more. On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 11:05 AM, Marcello Perathoner < marcello@perathoner.de> wrote:

Wikipedia view of the significance of McGuffey:
It is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible<http://en.wikipedia.org/**wiki/Bible<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible>>and Webster's Dictionary<http://en.**wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster%**27s_Dictionary<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster%27s_Dictionary>>. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark.
The Kama Sutra has been going at a rate of approx. 20,000 per MONTH from PG alone.
The proposed McGuffey had only 330 downloads last month. You can do ~60 times more good by doing the Kama Sutra.
