Congratulations to everyone who helps provide PG with so many new books each week.

Here is a message from Michael Hart,

It would appear we have just now reached the 25,000th eBook produced by YOU!,
the Project Gutenberg volunters!!!!!!!

This includes:

PG of Australia

In addition, PG has received some 75,000 eBooks from the wide variety of eLibraries who donate to us from their production.

We are also looking for volunteers to help fledgling efforts to start Project Gutenberg sites in China, South America, Africa, and any other locations you would like.
