Regarding Scriptorium

Please sort all the ones that you know. And feel free to correct me if I made a mistake!--Konstable 02:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

The following seem to be nearly all fantasy/sf writers, so all are probably copyright. The fact these are all Ebooks make we wonder if in fact some are PD by the author's decision. In which case they should be accepted on a case-by case basis. Apwoolrich 12:42, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually he told me he got most of these over peer-to-peer. So they are very likely illegal copies.--Konstable 01:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
