I am including an email from Judith Boss who has done many of the PG Verne
books. She seems to be knocking them off rather regularly. She seems to be
using the Vincent Parke 1911 editions mostly and the Jules Verne Omnibus
Lippincott.

>From Judith Boss:
Actually, I've digitized several of Verne's works, but those from the
Lippincott edition are definitely troublesome. The last three have been
from _Works of Jules Verne_, ed. Charles F. Horne, New York: F. Tyler
Daniels Company, 1911. Title page verso says "Copyright, 1911 / BY
VINCENT PARKE AND COMPANY."

Nineteenth century editions were often silently bowdlerized.

She seems to have volumes 4, 8, and 9--maybe more. JVF needs to get its
list together before she has done all of Parke. I mentioned our possible
project and the JVF, but got the impression she was going to be doing her
own thing, which I gather is more of the above. Maybe she will come on
board later.
