+ LOST ART
+
+ BY G. K. HAWK
+
+ _They lived by and for push
+ buttons and machines, and
+ knew nothing else. But Endicott
+ remembered about the
+ old, old days--when a man
+ could save a life without a
+ push-button...._
+
+ [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from
+ Worlds of If Science Fiction, March 1955.
+ Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that
+ the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]
+
+
+Stiff fingers of icy, wind-driven snow beat a tattoo on the hull of the
+cargo ship, filtered through the jagged tears in the metal skin, sifted
+down over the useless control board with its dead gauges and bank upon
+bank of pushbuttons. Amidship, a wind-thrashed branch screechingly
+scraped the reverberating hull, and the sound, like the rasp of sliding
+hatch covers, echoed through the ship.
+
+Dazedly, Allison watched the sifting snow settle on the buttons, each
+one acquiring a grotesque, lop-sided, conical hat which grew as he
+stared. He reached forward an already stiffening finger and brushed one
+of the hats away, and almost idly watched another one form in its place.
+
+"Come on, Allison, come on. Snap out of it." Endicott came out of the
+passageway into the control room, returned from his inspection of the
+machinery. "You hurt in the landing?"
+
+Allison didn't answer. He shivered and pushed another inquisitive
+finger at the control board; the finger selected a certain button and
+pushed it steadily. There was no click of a hidden relay, no whir of
+little motors springing to life.
+
+"You can punch that button or any of the others from now until--It
+won't do any good. We're dead." The plume of Endicott's frozen breath
+drifted over Allison's shoulder, merged with the sifting snow.
+
+"Dead?" Allison echoed in a sleepwalker's voice. "Dead," he repeated
+and jabbed the button again and again.
+
+"In a manner of speaking," Endicott's white-sandy brows drew together
+in a frown. "We're off the powercast--our receiver, I guess."
+
+"No power." Allison was following better, was waking up. "That
+means--Can't you fix it, Chief?"
+
+"Nope. I tried, but something in its guts is burned out. No power."
+Endicott beat his old blue-veined hands together.
+
+Allison's frost-numbed fingers picked at the straps on his reclining
+geeseat, and he stepped to the light metal deck. He shivered and
+punched the button on the control board again. He was seized by a spasm
+of uncontrollable shaking. "No power means--no heat!" Panic crept into
+his voice.
+
+Endicott said nothing but looked at the tier upon tier of buttons,
+functionless now.
+
+Allison looked at the board, too, his narrow shoulders hunched.
+"They've never failed before," he muttered through chattering teeth.
+
+"What?" Endicott seemed bemused.
+
+"The buttons. Punch 'em, and you always get what you want--except now!"
+
+"Now, now," Endicott said soothingly. "Panic isn't going to help us
+any. All we have to do is sit tight--and wait. They'll send a relief
+ship out--"
+
+"When?"
+
+"In the morning. Morning, sure. They had us on the 'viewer, don't
+forget. They'll know exactly where to look."
+
+"They won't be able to locate us in this white stuff."
+
+"I tell you they know precisely where we are. And anyway the scanviewer
+will pick us up."
+
+"I don't think they'll ever find us." Allison slumped down on his
+transverse geeseat, stared wide-eyed at the drift forming slowly inside
+the torn metal of the windward side of the control room. "This white
+stuff scares me." He shivered, then got up hastily, his boots slipping
+slightly on the snow-slick decking, and punched the button again. "It's
+got to work!" he cried and beat on the board with his fist.
+
+"Stop that!" Endicott said sharply.
+
+There was a crack of a slap in the control room, then silence.
+
+In a moment Endicott said in his soothing voice, "Sorry, Allison.
+Everything'll be all right. Don't you worry."
+
+"If you say so, Chief." Allison stood in the center of the control
+room, his arms slack by his sides.
+
+"We'll be all right," Endicott said. "We have food capsules--"
+
+"Sure, Chief."
+
+"We'll be all right, except--" Endicott peered through the rents in the
+hull into the storm outside. "All we have to do is sit tight," he added
+hastily.
+
+"We'll freeze tonight without heat." Allison's voice was still
+breathless with panic.
+
+"Yeah. Yeah, I've been thinking about that. There's some thing
+'way down deep in my mind--something I can't quite get--" Endicott
+still looked out at the storm-thrashed trees, a puzzled expression
+wrinkling his face. "Something from my childhood--I was born a long
+time before you, you know, before they set up state conditioning homes
+for children. Long before they set up this 'everything-from-buttons'
+business. Lived with my own people, I did, and I seem to remember--seem
+to remember--" The puzzled expression became a frown of concentration.
+"Or maybe it was something I read a long time ago," he mused.
+
+"Did what?" Allison perked up.
+
+"Read. You wouldn't know what that was. Everything comes from buttons
+now, entertainment, food, light, heat--everything.... No, it was from
+my childhood, I'm sure. I remember my people used to take me out in
+the country--" Endicott mused on while a cloak of snow grew on the
+shoulders of his jacket, and the light began to fade.
+
+"Out in the country? What for? Nobody goes out there." Allison's eyes
+gleamed slightly in the growing dusk.
+
+"--for picnics. And--" Endicott's eyes brightened, and one hand
+clenched.
+
+"For what?" Allison's head thrust forward.
+
+"What?" Endicott snapped, irritated at having his train of thought
+broken.
+
+"What did your people take you in the country for?"
+
+"A picnic.... Yes, yes, that's it! I remember now!" Endicott's words
+poured out.
+
+"You know it is forbidden to think of the old days."
+
+"Shut up! Let me think. You want heat, don't you?"
+
+"It's forbidden to think of the old days," Allison repeated stubbornly.
+"You'll get heat when I report this--in a different way."
+
+"Shut up! Look, you want to keep from freezing tonight?" Endicott
+glared. "All right. Come with me and do as I say." Without a backward
+glance Endicott crossed the slippery deck and entered the passageway.
+At the midship cargo natch he stopped.
+
+"How are you going to open it without power?" Allison's breath-plume
+shot over Endicott's shoulder. "It's locked and unlocked by a button on
+the control board. Remember Chief?"
+
+"Stop gloating, Allison. This is for your benefit as well as mine.
+There's an escape hatch in the control room."
+
+"That's controlled by power, too."
+
+"Yes, but in these older models the hatch also has a manual control, as
+I remember." Endicott moved off toward the control room.
+
+Allison hesitated, then followed, and joined Endicott as he began to
+search the control board. Endicott found the emergency lever for the
+escape hatch and tugged on it, turning his head to watch the hatch
+in the side of the hull, back of his seat. The hatch, big enough for
+one man to pass through at a time, popped, crackling with frost, and
+stirred slightly.
+
+"Now, Allison, my boy, let's put our shoulders to it." Endicott was in
+high spirits again.
+
+As soon as the hatch swung open, Endicott put his head and shoulders
+through the opening, squinting his eyes against the icy snow which
+swirled past him. He grabbed a handhold on the outside of the hull and
+pulled his legs through, and dropped into the snow alongside the ship.
+
+Allison's head and shoulders appeared in the opening, and in a moment
+he was beside Endicott. "Now what?" Allison yelled above the wind.
+
+Endicott looked toward the clearing in which they had landed, then
+turned to face the trees around the disabled ship. He waded through the
+snow to the nearest one and reflectively took hold of a dry branch over
+his head, tugged it several times as though judging its resiliency,
+before snapping it off.
+
+"Now, Allison, you see what I did? Well, you do the same, only gather
+an armload of branches. When you have them, bring them to me at the
+ship. And keep on gathering them until I tell you to stop."
+
+Allison stood still in the deep snow, peering suspiciously at Endicott
+through the snow-swirl. "Is this something from the old--?"
+
+"Never mind that now, Allison," Endicott said patiently. "Let's not
+worry about all that twaddle. You want to be warm, don't you? So, just
+do as I say."
+
+Allison's eyebrows shot up and lowered instantly, and his face set in
+stubborn planes. "If this is from the old days I'm not sure I want any
+part of it." He looked furtively over his shoulders at the gloomy woods.
+
+"There are no Conditioning Committees here, Allison," Endicott said
+testily. "Get on with it."
+
+Allison took a few reluctant steps toward the nearest tree. Endicott
+started back to the ship with his branch, looking back over his
+shoulder.
+
+"No, no, Allison. See those green needles? It won't do at all.
+Dry branches, Allison, _dry_ branches." The whipping wind carried
+Endicott's words over the few yards.
+
+"I can't see how these--branches?--are going to keep us warm. It seems
+like a lot of useless trouble getting them," Allison said sulkily,
+suspicion and fear unabated.
+
+Endicott didn't answer. Instead, he went to the side of the ship away
+from the wind and began tramping the snow down into a flat, hard
+floor. He broke his branch into short lengths over his knee, then, in
+a nearly forgotten gesture, slapped at his uniform until he remembered
+that he had no pockets. For a moment he stood still, his eyes roving
+over the side of the ship until it came to one of the jagged tears.
+With a little self-congratulatory chuckle, he began scraping one of
+the lengths of wood over the torn metal, catching the splinters and
+shavings in the palm of one hand.
+
+Allison dropped his armload of branches by the ship, waged an inner
+battle between fear of the unknown and curiosity in which curiosity
+won, and stood watching Endicott arrange the branches in a crib around
+the neatly piled shavings. Endicott, on one knee by the crib, worked
+steadily, laying the pieces of wood with care and a returning sense
+of sureness, with only brief pauses to flex his freezing fingers.
+Finally, with a smile of satisfaction on his face, Endicott got to his
+feet, and the nearly forgotten gesture at the pocketless uniform was
+repeated.
+
+Slowly, Endicott's lined face altered. He looked hastily at the
+watchful Allison and hastily looked away; he looked at the completed
+crib, and his tongue licked his lips; he looked along the side of the
+damaged ship, and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully; finally, he looked
+into the swirl of the icy snow, and he shivered. His hands ceased their
+pawing, fell slowly, to hang slack by his sides. He was not smiling as
+he turned away.
+
+"What were you looking for?" Allison asked curiously.
+
+"I just remembered something else," said Endicott, his voice was very
+soft in the stillness, "we used to have something called a match to
+start those picnic fires."

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary

- LOST ART
-
- BY G. K. HAWK
-
- _They lived by and for push
- buttons and machines, and
- knew nothing else. But Endicott
- remembered about the
- old, old days--when a man
- could save a life without a
- push-button...._
-
- [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from
- Worlds of If Science Fiction, March 1955.
- Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that
- the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]
-
-
-Stiff fingers of icy, wind-driven snow beat a tattoo on the hull of the
-cargo ship, filtered through the jagged tears in the metal skin, sifted
-down over the useless control board with its dead gauges and bank upon
-bank of pushbuttons. Amidship, a wind-thrashed branch screechingly
-scraped the reverberating hull, and the sound, like the rasp of sliding
-hatch covers, echoed through the ship.
-
-Dazedly, Allison watched the sifting snow settle on the buttons, each
-one acquiring a grotesque, lop-sided, conical hat which grew as he
-stared. He reached forward an already stiffening finger and brushed one
-of the hats away, and almost idly watched another one form in its place.
-
-"Come on, Allison, come on. Snap out of it." Endicott came out of the
-passageway into the control room, returned from his inspection of the
-machinery. "You hurt in the landing?"
-
-Allison didn't answer. He shivered and pushed another inquisitive
-finger at the control board; the finger selected a certain button and
-pushed it steadily. There was no click of a hidden relay, no whir of
-little motors springing to life.
-
-"You can punch that button or any of the others from now until--It
-won't do any good. We're dead." The plume of Endicott's frozen breath
-drifted over Allison's shoulder, merged with the sifting snow.
-
-"Dead?" Allison echoed in a sleepwalker's voice. "Dead," he repeated
-and jabbed the button again and again.
-
-"In a manner of speaking," Endicott's white-sandy brows drew together
-in a frown. "We're off the powercast--our receiver, I guess."
-
-"No power." Allison was following better, was waking up. "That
-means--Can't you fix it, Chief?"
-
-"Nope. I tried, but something in its guts is burned out. No power."
-Endicott beat his old blue-veined hands together.
-
-Allison's frost-numbed fingers picked at the straps on his reclining
-geeseat, and he stepped to the light metal deck. He shivered and
-punched the button on the control board again. He was seized by a spasm
-of uncontrollable shaking. "No power means--no heat!" Panic crept into
-his voice.
-
-Endicott said nothing but looked at the tier upon tier of buttons,
-functionless now.
-
-Allison looked at the board, too, his narrow shoulders hunched.
-"They've never failed before," he muttered through chattering teeth.
-
-"What?" Endicott seemed bemused.
-
-"The buttons. Punch 'em, and you always get what you want--except now!"
-
-"Now, now," Endicott said soothingly. "Panic isn't going to help us
-any. All we have to do is sit tight--and wait. They'll send a relief
-ship out--"
-
-"When?"
-
-"In the morning. Morning, sure. They had us on the 'viewer, don't
-forget. They'll know exactly where to look."
-
-"They won't be able to locate us in this white stuff."
-
-"I tell you they know precisely where we are. And anyway the scanviewer
-will pick us up."
-
-"I don't think they'll ever find us." Allison slumped down on his
-transverse geeseat, stared wide-eyed at the drift forming slowly inside
-the torn metal of the windward side of the control room. "This white
-stuff scares me." He shivered, then got up hastily, his boots slipping
-slightly on the snow-slick decking, and punched the button again. "It's
-got to work!" he cried and beat on the board with his fist.
-
-"Stop that!" Endicott said sharply.
-
-There was a crack of a slap in the control room, then silence.
-
-In a moment Endicott said in his soothing voice, "Sorry, Allison.
-Everything'll be all right. Don't you worry."
-
-"If you say so, Chief." Allison stood in the center of the control
-room, his arms slack by his sides.
-
-"We'll be all right," Endicott said. "We have food capsules--"
-
-"Sure, Chief."
-
-"We'll be all right, except--" Endicott peered through the rents in the
-hull into the storm outside. "All we have to do is sit tight," he added
-hastily.
-
-"We'll freeze tonight without heat." Allison's voice was still
-breathless with panic.
-
-"Yeah. Yeah, I've been thinking about that. There's some thing
-'way down deep in my mind--something I can't quite get--" Endicott
-still looked out at the storm-thrashed trees, a puzzled expression
-wrinkling his face. "Something from my childhood--I was born a long
-time before you, you know, before they set up state conditioning homes
-for children. Long before they set up this 'everything-from-buttons'
-business. Lived with my own people, I did, and I seem to remember--seem
-to remember--" The puzzled expression became a frown of concentration.
-"Or maybe it was something I read a long time ago," he mused.
-
-"Did what?" Allison perked up.
-
-"Read. You wouldn't know what that was. Everything comes from buttons
-now, entertainment, food, light, heat--everything.... No, it was from
-my childhood, I'm sure. I remember my people used to take me out in
-the country--" Endicott mused on while a cloak of snow grew on the
-shoulders of his jacket, and the light began to fade.
-
-"Out in the country? What for? Nobody goes out there." Allison's eyes
-gleamed slightly in the growing dusk.
-
-"--for picnics. And--" Endicott's eyes brightened, and one hand
-clenched.
-
-"For what?" Allison's head thrust forward.
-
-"What?" Endicott snapped, irritated at having his train of thought
-broken.
-
-"What did your people take you in the country for?"
-
-"A picnic.... Yes, yes, that's it! I remember now!" Endicott's words
-poured out.
-
-"You know it is forbidden to think of the old days."
-
-"Shut up! Let me think. You want heat, don't you?"
-
-"It's forbidden to think of the old days," Allison repeated stubbornly.
-"You'll get heat when I report this--in a different way."
-
-"Shut up! Look, you want to keep from freezing tonight?" Endicott
-glared. "All right. Come with me and do as I say." Without a backward
-glance Endicott crossed the slippery deck and entered the passageway.
-At the midship cargo natch he stopped.
-
-"How are you going to open it without power?" Allison's breath-plume
-shot over Endicott's shoulder. "It's locked and unlocked by a button on
-the control board. Remember Chief?"
-
-"Stop gloating, Allison. This is for your benefit as well as mine.
-There's an escape hatch in the control room."
-
-"That's controlled by power, too."
-
-"Yes, but in these older models the hatch also has a manual control, as
-I remember." Endicott moved off toward the control room.
-
-Allison hesitated, then followed, and joined Endicott as he began to
-search the control board. Endicott found the emergency lever for the
-escape hatch and tugged on it, turning his head to watch the hatch
-in the side of the hull, back of his seat. The hatch, big enough for
-one man to pass through at a time, popped, crackling with frost, and
-stirred slightly.
-
-"Now, Allison, my boy, let's put our shoulders to it." Endicott was in
-high spirits again.
-
-As soon as the hatch swung open, Endicott put his head and shoulders
-through the opening, squinting his eyes against the icy snow which
-swirled past him. He grabbed a handhold on the outside of the hull and
-pulled his legs through, and dropped into the snow alongside the ship.
-
-Allison's head and shoulders appeared in the opening, and in a moment
-he was beside Endicott. "Now what?" Allison yelled above the wind.
-
-Endicott looked toward the clearing in which they had landed, then
-turned to face the trees around the disabled ship. He waded through the
-snow to the nearest one and reflectively took hold of a dry branch over
-his head, tugged it several times as though judging its resiliency,
-before snapping it off.
-
-"Now, Allison, you see what I did? Well, you do the same, only gather
-an armload of branches. When you have them, bring them to me at the
-ship. And keep on gathering them until I tell you to stop."
-
-Allison stood still in the deep snow, peering suspiciously at Endicott
-through the snow-swirl. "Is this something from the old--?"
-
-"Never mind that now, Allison," Endicott said patiently. "Let's not
-worry about all that twaddle. You want to be warm, don't you? So, just
-do as I say."
-
-Allison's eyebrows shot up and lowered instantly, and his face set in
-stubborn planes. "If this is from the old days I'm not sure I want any
-part of it." He looked furtively over his shoulders at the gloomy woods.
-
-"There are no Conditioning Committees here, Allison," Endicott said
-testily. "Get on with it."
-
-Allison took a few reluctant steps toward the nearest tree. Endicott
-started back to the ship with his branch, looking back over his
-shoulder.
-
-"No, no, Allison. See those green needles? It won't do at all.
-Dry branches, Allison, _dry_ branches." The whipping wind carried
-Endicott's words over the few yards.
-
-"I can't see how these--branches?--are going to keep us warm. It seems
-like a lot of useless trouble getting them," Allison said sulkily,
-suspicion and fear unabated.
-
-Endicott didn't answer. Instead, he went to the side of the ship away
-from the wind and began tramping the snow down into a flat, hard
-floor. He broke his branch into short lengths over his knee, then, in
-a nearly forgotten gesture, slapped at his uniform until he remembered
-that he had no pockets. For a moment he stood still, his eyes roving
-over the side of the ship until it came to one of the jagged tears.
-With a little self-congratulatory chuckle, he began scraping one of
-the lengths of wood over the torn metal, catching the splinters and
-shavings in the palm of one hand.
-
-Allison dropped his armload of branches by the ship, waged an inner
-battle between fear of the unknown and curiosity in which curiosity
-won, and stood watching Endicott arrange the branches in a crib around
-the neatly piled shavings. Endicott, on one knee by the crib, worked
-steadily, laying the pieces of wood with care and a returning sense
-of sureness, with only brief pauses to flex his freezing fingers.
-Finally, with a smile of satisfaction on his face, Endicott got to his
-feet, and the nearly forgotten gesture at the pocketless uniform was
-repeated.
-
-Slowly, Endicott's lined face altered. He looked hastily at the
-watchful Allison and hastily looked away; he looked at the completed
-crib, and his tongue licked his lips; he looked along the side of the
-damaged ship, and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully; finally, he looked
-into the swirl of the icy snow, and he shivered. His hands ceased their
-pawing, fell slowly, to hang slack by his sides. He was not smiling as
-he turned away.
-
-"What were you looking for?" Allison asked curiously.
-
-"I just remembered something else," said Endicott, his voice was very
-soft in the stillness, "we used to have something called a match to
-start those picnic fires."

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
