- Let them tell you about it: "Project Gutenberg is the brainchild of Michael Hart, who in 1971 decided that it would be a
really good idea if lots of famous and important texts were freely available to everyone in the world. Since then, he has been

figures (as of November 8th 2002): 203 New eBooks released during October 2002, 1975 New eBooks produced in 2002 (they were
1240 in 2001) for a total of 6267 Total Project Gutenberg eBooks. 119 eBooks have been posted so far by Project Gutenberg of
Australia."
