When I finish two of the books I'm-proofing, if no one's taken them, and if all 
they need is page breaks and numbers, I'll take them--if I can get the right 
editions. One of the books I've been working on only needed page breaks, 
ostensibly, but the only copies I can get are different editions, so I have to  
fix not only the preliminary pagers but the text to conform to the edition I'm 
working from.
