Bibrec Tab
This table contains all information we collected about the book. Creator The person or entity that wrote the book. Title The title of the book.

Language All languages used in the book for main bodies of text. A foreign citation alone does not get a language tag. Category Text or Sound. LoC Class Library of Congress Classification. PG only uses the first 2 letters. This classification may help you find books in a special area of interest, although about one half of our books don't have LoC info yet. Thus, if you don't find the book you are interested in using the LoC class, it does not mean that we don't have it. Subject One or more subjects. Note that about one half of our books don't have subject information added yet. Ebook-No. This is the Project Gutenberg catalog number. Every PG ebook has a different one. Release Date This is the actual release date for ebooks with etext-no. greater than 10,000. Ebooks with etext-no. up to 10,000 got a release date according to a release plan. We were always ahead of the plan, so ebooks actually got released before the release date. Copyright Status Says if this book is copyrighted in the U.S. If you don't live in the U.S. you have to check the copyright laws of your country before downloading an ebook! PG does not know the copyright status of any of its ebooks in any country except the U.S. You may download a copyrighted ebook for your personal use but have to contact the copyright owner if you want to redistribute it. Books without copyright are in the public domain and you may redistribute them at will. Note: this field is an indication only. Always look at the license inside the book before distributing a book.

Format
HTML
The standard format of the WWW. Use any web browser to display this file format.

Generated HTML
This HTML was computer-generated because we don't have a hand-crafted HTML version of this ebook. This format may contain formatting errors.

EPUB
EPUB (electronic publication) is an e-book standard, by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). EPUB files have the extension .epub. See also the wikipedia article about EPUB. Currently the format can be read directly by many reader programs including:

FBReader (for Google Android and other linux-based (mobile) devices), Lexcycle Stanza (for iPhone and iPod Touch), Adobe Digital Editions (for Windows and Mac Desktops),

If the ebook contains images, we offer two versions: one with and one without images. Project Gutenberg EPUB files are free from DRM (Digital Restrictions Management). We automatically generate the EPUB files from the HTML file if there is one, else from the Plain Text file. If the source file is a Plain Text file, the program must guess at the structure of the text. Thus EPUB files may contain formatting errors like verse lines run together or paragraphs wrongfully marked as headers etc. Most of them are good enough for reading though.

Kindle
Kindle is the format used by the Amazon Kindle series of mobile ebook readers. There is also no-cost proprietary Kindle software available for BlackBerry, PalmOS, Symbian, Windows and Windows Mobile. If the ebook contains images, we offer two versions: one with and one without images.

QiOO Mobile
QiOO Mobile eBook is a proprietary format which is viewable on older mobile phones (Java required). For more information, to ask questions, or to report problems, please visit Project Gutenberg's partner for this format at www.qioo.de. These QiOO Mobile eBook files do not contain images or hyperlinks - they are text only.

Plucker

A plucker ebook as viewed on a Palm smartphone. You can read plucker files on your Palm organizer or smartphone. Plucker is Free Software. Get the plucker viewer. A plucker ebook is generated from the HTML file if there is one, else from the Plain Text file. If the source file is a Plain Text file, the program must guess at the structure of the text. Thus plucker files may contain formatting errors like verse lines run together or paragraphs wrongfully marked as headers etc. They are good enough for reading though. Our plucker ebooks do not contain images. You may also install the plucker distiller software and generate plucker ebooks yourself. This gives you control over more options, like including images, etc.

Plain Text UTF-8

A text file formatted with a fixed line length. Can be viewed in any browser or with an editor like Windows Notepad. For best results set a monospaced font like Courier. Every ebook is available in plain text format with very few exceptions. Exceptions are made for mathematical texts where a representation of formulas is impossible in plain text.

AVI
AVI files can contain both audio and video. They can generally be played with media players such as Windows Media Player, WinAmp, or Mplayer. See wikipedia for more information.

CSS
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are generally used to make HTML pages look nice, and are not intended for direct viewing. Your web browser will find these files as referenced by the HTML files that use them. See wikipedia for more information.

DVI
The output format of a typesetting system called TeX. Generally more common on Unixlike platforms. Can be viewed using xdvi or Evince. See wikipedia for more information.

EPS
Short for "Encapsulated PostScript", it can generally be viewed with any PostScript viewer. A free PostScript viewer is available. See wikipedia for more information.

GIF
An image format generally viewable by any web browser. See wikipedia for more information.

ISO
A logical copy of a CD-ROM or other optical media. Most CD/DVD authoring utilities can deal with ISO images. A free tool for mounting these images on a Windows machine as though they were inserted into a CD-ROM drive is available. A tool for burning ISOs to a physical CD-R or CD-RW on Windows is available.

Size
The approximate file size.

Mirror Sites
The mirror option in the Download list allows you to select which location to download a file from. Because the main distribution choice (the iBiblio server in North Carolina) might not be the best one for you, selecting a mirror could provide a faster download.

Generally, files may be downloaded via either HTTP or FTP from any mirror. However: Some mirrors have chosen to not supply some file types, i.e., .mp3. Others offer the .zip versions only. Our CD & DVD images might not work by HTTP due to the file size. Most mirrors update daily, but sometimes new eBooks take a little extra time to be harvested by mirrors.

File Hosting Services

A file hosting service allows you to store files and access them over the internet from your PC, tablet or smart phone. You have to create an account before you can use them. Many providers offer a free starter package with limited storage that may be upgraded later. Warning: Project Gutenberg does not endorse any of the following services. Familiarize yourself with their terms of service before using them, as costs may occur. Don't use the free accounts for file backup, because many providers delete your files after a period of inactivity.

Dropbox
Dropbox is a service that helps you keep files synchronized on your PC and your mobile devices. We will send the ebook to the Apps/gutenberg folder in your Dropbox folder. It will then be copied to all your devices on which you have installed the Dropbox client software.

Google Drive
Google Drive is a file hosting service. We will upload the ebook to your Google Drive. You can then download it from anywhere you have an internet connection.
