So, as promised, I’ve launched the first of what will probably be many auctions of books we’ve scanned for Distributed Proofreaders. Bidding starts at $0.04 for the actual physical copy of Stories of Later American History used to produce Project Gutenberg eText #18618.

The entire amount of the winning bid will be donated to the Distributed Proofreaders Foundation, the new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which supports the DP community.

What makes this book in particular distinctive? Nothing whatsoever, except that it was on the top of the pile.
