The true problem with Moby Dick was not the content, actually if written in
today's style it would be about a schiphrenic poacher, obsessed in exacting
revenge on natures biggest animal.
The problem with it, and a lot of the novels of that day was they got paid
by the word. sigh.
Just as "les Miserab" is a truly great piece, the fact that he goes off on
tangents for books at a time, is driving me batty though I absolutely love
the musical version.

In a college lit class I took everyone had to read Moby Dick. But when the
prof asked how many liked it no one raised their hands.

My guess is that these projects aren't for the outside volunteers such as
us but rather for the in-house volunteers.
Hence, they wouldn't have these problems; and perhaps could set up
promotional relationships with whatever entities supplied the books.
And the in-house volunteers seem to have the ability to quickly produce
material which is important in the kinds of things I brought up.
