Would it be useful?

eorLately I've been formatting files off of Project Gutenberg for the little ebook reader. The reader requires .imp files which are an XML hybrid. One by-product of creating the .imp files is that I have to produce a clean HTML file to work with. As a result I'm beginning a collection of fairly well formatted html files of PG texts.
Would access to this growing file collection be of interest/value to you?
Caveats: These are not the same as the HTML available on PG. I always start with the plain text document and work up from there for consistency. I usually end up putting a table of contents in (if there isn't one already). I will also link the table of contents, which often isn't the case in PG HTML. The formatting is different because I'm doing things to make it compatible with ebooks. I always embed a style sheet which makes it relatively easy to change formatting to suit special needs.
List of items currently on the reader:
William S. Burroughs: A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, Thuvia Maid of Mars, Warlord of Mars
Lewis Carroll: Through the Looking Glass
Emily Dickinson: Poems (3 volumes in 1)
Robert Frost: North of Boston
Edna St. Vincent Millay: Renascence and Other Poems
Ambrose Bierce: The Devil's Dictionary
Henry David Thoreau: Walden and Civil Disobedience
Mark Twain: Extracts from Adam's Diary
H. G. Wells: The War of the Worlds
P. G. Wodehouse: Mike, Mike and Psmith, Psmith Journalist, Right Ho Jeeves
Right now the reader is only about 13% full so I'll be adding much more. Others that are in the folder to be processed: Don Marquis, Dickens, Austen, the Bronte Sisters, E. M. Forester, The King James Bible, Bill Shakespeare, and many others.
