Re: Books from 1928 entering public domain Jan. 1 2024

Thank you, that's great to know. I don't know why I thought I wasn't supposed to yet. I'm excited to read Money For Nothing by P. G. Wodehouse. It's one of my favorite books of his, and I bought a battered but serviceable 1928 copy so I can start working on it as soon as 2024 comes and I get my cur...

Re: Unrecorded Pulp Sci-Fi

I think all of the Toffee stories by Charles F. Myers have posted to Project Gutenberg now. The isfdb has corrected the two that don't have Toffee in the title, but are Toffee stories.
