Summary

"Project Gutenberg Newsletters 1999" by Michael Hart is a series of news updates released monthly, covering Project Gutenberg's work in 1999. These communications describe newly released electronic texts, address copyright challenges, and highlight the efforts of volunteers dedicated to expanding the availability of public domain literature. Opening remarks include the purpose and contents of the newsletter, detailing the complex process of making and distributing digital books and commentary on copyright law changes in the United States. The purpose of the book is to also show Project Gutenberg's promise to make literature accessible in many languages, as well as the crucial part volunteers play in this mission.
