Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
Not too late! Still plenty of pages to go around.
PM sent!
Sign me up, I didn't see this before now. Hopefully there's still a few pages left I can get in on.

List is filling up and this is becoming a reality! Still room for more contributors though, if you're on the fence jump in! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a full copy of one of the most valued literary masterpieces ever created!

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
I have 8 pages done. Not too much I know. I'll send them to you tomorrow, they are on my work computer.

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
No worries, anyone can either send their pages to me as they're doing them or all in one bunch when they're finished.

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
I'm choosing the latter...mostly because I like working in long, exhaustion-inducing, bleary-eyed streaks.

No photoshop skills required my friend! If you can type then you can help. Want in?

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
I'm actually kind of interested myself. When would you need them done by? My school schedule for the next month is going to be hell, but I'll have lots of free time afterward.
EDIT: Also, will the finished PDF be formatted in proper signature order, or will the pages just be in number order and require that we painstakingly print every page individually out of order? I ask because if that's the case it could take months just to print the thing.

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
There's no real time limit set on the project as obviously everyone has lives aside from this. My goal is to have it finished by the end of the year but we'll see. I'll be really excited when the first completed batch comes in and I can start formatting!
The PDF I had in mind would be in numerical order in the same way as the PDF I have of the original is. That works fine for a standard glue binding (which is all I've ever done) but I'm not opposed to creating another PDF with proper signature order if someone can help me work it out.

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
I'd be down for the proper signature order one and I could help you out on the numbering. I don't trust perfect binding AT ALL. I made a book once that was 12 inches wide by 18 inches tall and perfect bound and if it had been carried any other way than spine-down all of the pages would have ripped right out of it. Of course, if bound in signatures the pages have to be considerably larger, meaning it'll probably have to be professionally printed. How much do you think Kinko's charges for 320 17" x 22" double sided prints? :lol

Re: Gutenberg Bible Project
Some people have had trouble downloading the ZIP file (first link I sent you in the PM you received). If you do have a problem PM me and I'll email it to you as it's a small file. The big file is the Bible section link (either 1A, 1B, 2A or 2B) so if you have a problem downloading that I'll have to find a new FTP service.
An arm and a leg I'm sure! However since originals are valued in the many millions of dollars it's a small price to pay.

I can try a page or two...not much time as of late but I would like to contribute in a small way. If I may.
