Sir Isumbras at the Ford by D. K. Broster is now available to read and download at Project Gutenberg, here!

I am absolutely delighted :D

Very many thanks to [personal profile] garonne for helping with the OCR and [personal profile] theseatheseatheopensea for proofreading <3

The actual ebook submission process was very smooth, in the end—I submitted the files yesterday and it's up on the site today. There were no serious problems with the ebook itself, which the PG processor responsible for checking the files and doing the final uploading to the site told me was very unusual for a first-timer, so I'm being terribly smug about that. There was an issue with the zip files—apparently the way my Mac does file compression had added some extra stuff to the folder that had to be removed, but PG processor very kindly did that for me and it was all sorted easily.

And now more people can read more lovely D. K. Broster books! :D

If you go to the front page right now it's up there on the list of 'some of our latest ebooks', funnily enough alongside a series of volumes on the First World War by Arthur Conan Doyle, of all people.

:D
