@gutenberg_org what does "with which is incorporated Household Words" mean???
@Antiqueight @gutenberg_org
Household Words would have been another publication, which merged/was taken over
@faduda @gutenberg_org ah!! I was puzzled by it as words in English not a name....
@gutenberg_org The Woman in White, in my opinion, is one of Collins’ best works (along with The Moonstone). If you don’t mind rather wordy prose, it’s a great read.
@aprilfollies I recently read No Name which is also another great book by Collins. It's available at PG.
@gutenberg_org I’ll put that one on my to-read list!
BTW, I’m a great fan of Project Gutenberg. I point it out to all my friends. Books that Amazon charges $1.99-$2.99 for! And your editing/formatting/QC is better!
@aprilfollies please do so! You’re very welcome and you could join us at @DProofreaders …
