Joe Dever has sent Mongoose to us for electronic copies of the books.
I plan to send a test file to them next Monday, but I want to run the
file by y'all first. I plan to send them a monolithic HTML file which
is unstyled, utf-8 encoded, and lacks all graphics. Come to think of
it, they may want us to leave out the hyperlinks as well. They want it
in MS Word, and I believe this should be easily imported. I won't be
able to test this until Monday.

This also means that we should speed up our work on getting a
proofread XML file for the 11 remaining Lone Wolf books.

Comments?

Which remaining 11 books are you talking about, 2-12, or 18-28? If the latter, that's a BIG job. If Ingo is too busy to run each through a spellchecker, I could try to do so if I get access to the existing XML files for 18-21 and whatever else exists. It really does take me about a week to go through each printed copy of the book looking for errors, though, so that's about 3 months' work just there.

Will they want copies of the artwork as well?

If you can tell me the plan of action, Jon, I'll get working right away.

BTW, those with working copies of the XML files might want to update
your archive. I've touched a handful of the files.

It'll be nice to see all the issues for 2-17 fixed! ^_^;;
