Publishing CIA's Declassified Vault

[Greg Newby]

Dear Michael,

Good luck with this!  In case it's useful, there is a lot of information and community knowledge about scanning, hosting eBooks, etc. at www.gutenberg.org (FAQ, HOWTO) and www.pgdp.net.  If there might be anything I could help with, just ask.
  Best,
  Greg Newby
