I have just thought. The books I do were published in England and are out of copyright to both US and UK/EU rules.

I don't think that's universally true. Most Western European languages have a much larger body of users at PGDP than DP-Europe. The only exception off the top of my head is Icelandic. Even non-Latin-1 languages, like Esperanto or Middle English, do better at PGDP, because of an established body of proofers and it's easier for many people to transliterate instead of typing the Unicode characters. This goes double for the Native American languages that use a huge, odd, collection of accents and indiosyncratic characters.

Or for another way to look at it, the people who worked on transcribing these languages developed their own individual (sometimes idiosyncratic) systems for doing so. Andrew
I understood that PGEurope was not accepting unsolicited books yet. ??
