ABOUT THESE FILES (See pictures of some finished books.)
The Covers are PDF files, available in half or full size. Some of the files may display oddly on your screen, but when printed they'll have good resolution and look great! Some are in color, but will print just as well in black and white. You can always use colored paper or colored pencils to make your covers more interesting!
For those of you asking "Why not just use one file for both sizes?": It's because I couldn't create one file that looked good printed both ways unless you own FinePrint. Not everyone does, and not all printers handle half-size / booklet printing the same way. So, after some trial and error, here's what I came up with. Enjoy!
Download note: Those labeled full size include an f near the end of the file name, such as "c31-aesop-f.pdf" and the half size are the same, but with no f.
Printing Directions for Covers: Be sure to follow the directions below for the size you're using -- they're not the same. (Wording can vary in different versions of Adobe, and will be different in other PDF readers, but these directions should still help you set things up right before printing.)
Half size: In Adobe, under "Page Sizing & Handling" click "Size," then select "Actual Size." (In older Adobe set "Page Scaling" to "None.") Use with any printer -- no FinePrint or booklet options required. Just print and then cut the paper in half (at 5.5") to make a front and back cover. For more half-size cover options, see note* in full size section below.
Full size: In Adobe, under "Page Sizing & Handling" click "Size," then select "Fit." (Older Adobe says "Fit to Printable Area.")
*Note: Covers labeled as full size can also be used for half-size books as well, IF... 1) You print half-size books to FinePrint, or, 2) you put half-size paper into your printer instead of cutting it after printing. (You may not have noticed, but the documents' dimensions are actually for half size, while they also look great filling up full-size paper!)
The Books will open with MS Word, OpenOffice, or WordPerfect. They are zipped .wpd files (created in WordPerfect), but work with other wordprocessors. (See why you may prefer these to printing scans of books.)
Printing Directions for Books: I print these in half size with FinePrint, but your printer's booklet setting may work instead. (Learn more about FinePrint, and download it for free.)
Or you can print in full size as follows: Either change the page size in your wordprocessor, or use FinePrint, set to "1 up." (The latter method will stretch the page to fit, and enlarge the font, just the same as it does when printing from RC or a PDF.)
How do these differ from Gutenberg files? These are formatted to maximize your margin space (justified at both edges), extra blank lines and obvious typos have been removed, text includes bold and italics where appropriate, the font face and size, and the format are all made to closely resemble a mass-market paperback. Also, since I was making these for my own family's use, I have removed words I found offensive, like racial slurs. (Yes, it's legal to change public domain books.)
Here's how the books are set up, but you can change them in your wordprocessor, if you like.
Size: The books are half size, but can also be printed in full size. (See directions above.)
Binding Allowance: Is set at 1/4", which is suitable for comb punching (with or without sewing), glued or thermal bound books, or for pages going into a 3-ring binder. (May work for some other binding methods, too.)
Font face/size, etc. : 11-point Times New Roman, with 1.1 line spacing. (These settings were chosen to resemble mass-market paperbacks.) Most have 1/4" indentation at the beginning of paragraphs, but some books for older readers may have 1/8". Margins are set at 1/2" (not including the binding allowance).
If using Word or OpenOffice the formatting might shift a little, so you may want to adjust the following:
1) Make sure each chapter begins where you want it (e. g. not at the bottom of a page.) Search for the word "Chapter" to find quickly.
2) Make sure the table of contents still has the correct page numbers. The t.o.c. is usually very small, if there is one at all. I mainly use them when combining multiple titles (like "The Bobbsey Twins Vol. 1", which has 4 stories), but there are some exceptions (like "Fifty Famous Stories Retold"). If you don't want to bother fixing a longer t.o.c., simply delete it. Or just delete the numbers, and let the first reader write them in.
Want WordPerfect? Visit Google Shopping or Pricegrabber to find a good price. These links search for the "OEM" version. It's the exact same program (not a bootleg), but costs less because it comes in an envelope instead of a box, and the manual is on the CD. Older versions also still work fine. [Wordperfect also comes with an easy-to-use graphics program (Presentations) which is great for making book covers, etc.]
BOOKS AND COVERS - More will be added, as I get to them.

Collections and Other Books
The collections below (like the Rover Boys series or Tom Swift series) are in chronological order, even if the order is incorrect in RC. So you can replace the RC books with these and read them in the correct order, and without skipping any.
Download note: For books that are available in 2 versions, with or without pics, the file name has a p at the end if it's the picture version. If the book contains pictures, and it's the only version offered, there is no p to distinguish it. The covers are the same for either version.
