Do any of our list participants here feel strongly about what text(s) would be ideal to start with for PG Canada?
I can't think off hand of a particular title, but perhaps the following paramaters should be used: - by a Canadian author who died between 1950 and 1954, inclusive; - published after 1923. Thus, a "life+50" public-domain work that is just "barely legal" for our purposes, and something that is not eligible for including in PG under US rules.

I can understand your interest in promoting works which have had the recent privilige of ascending into the public domain, but to start with, I'm looking to work with a couple texts that are already availible, to reduce the number of potential challenges occuring at once. :) However, if you or anyone else is interested in researching to find books that fit your criteria above, here is a list of authors to start from....

I would add to your list, George John ROMANES (1848 - 1894) - born in Kingston, ON and moved to England. He wan an eminent Evolutionist (assistant to Charles Darwin). Although I wouldn't suggest any of his works for #1, I do have clearances on most of his major publications. I just wanted to add him to the list. ~Marilynda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Sly" <sly@victoria.tc.ca> To: "Project Gutenberg of Canada" <pgcanada@lists.pglaf.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [PGCanada] First texts for PG Canada

Actually, scratch that. I noticed after sending the reply that you were focusing specifically on a narrow PD window. Still, Romanes should be catalogued in the PG Canada archive. ~Marilynda--who doesn't seem to multi-task well these days. ----- Original Message ----- From: "AuntieSocial" <AuntieSocial@rogers.com> To: "Project Gutenberg of Canada" <pgcanada@lists.pglaf.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 9:10 PM Subject: Re: [PGCanada] First texts for PG Canada

I vote for Anne. I assume the other will go in for number two. Has anyone thought of any sort of press release or like to put out? Jeremy

I was thinking of getting a few texts together first, and ask some volunteers to help find the inevitable bugs before making a public announcement. If you would like to start writing some kind of press release, please do. It would be appreciated. Andrew
Although I really enjoyed the Anne of Green Gables books, and own at least 3 editions, I feel that the book is not representative of all of Canada. Just my two cents. That being said, if consensus is to release this as book 1, then I guess it will be book 1. Maybe we could put our heads together and comb the PG and PG-OZ archives for a list of 50 books (preferably from 50 different authors covering all areas of the country) which could be included in the first release. I think that would make for a nice News Release number. Any thoughts/suggestions? There are currently 4 Nellie McClung (1873-1951) books on PG (and another in Post-Processing at PGDP). I'll take a look at some other authors and see if I can put together a nice list. I'll try to focus on authors in the 50+-70+ window.

IMHO, one of Canada's formost stylists was the almost-forgotten Globe and Mail writer, J. V. McAree. His book, 'Cabbagetown Store', (Ryerson Press, 1953), and about his childhood, is brilliant, as are his columns. He did write other stuff, too. He died in 1956; which would be as current as we could wish (in a few months). Michael (Vasa) Lockey
