Science Fiction (Bookshelf) - Gutenberg

Science Fiction (Bookshelf)

From Project Gutenberg, the first producer of free electronic books (ebooks).

 

Robots, nudes and spaceships, …

… SF is more than that.
… SF is more than that.

Science Fiction (often called sci-fi or SF) is a popular genre of fiction in which the narrative world differs from our own present or historical reality in at least one significant way. This difference may be technological, physical, historical, sociological, philosophical, metaphysical, etc, but not magical (see Fantasy).

—Excerpted from Science Fiction on Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia. 

 

"The Project Gutenberg Science Fiction Bookshelf CD"
is a long title for a small thematic excerpt from the wealth of public domain works of Project Gutenberg . 165 SF ebooks have been extracted in all available formats. The base for the CD is formed by the Science Fiction (Bookshelf) page of the Project Gutenberg Wiki. The page is frequently updated by volunteers so visit it once in a while for new ebooks added.

Some technical info about the CD is located at the end of this page.

For other copyrighted but free Science Fiction ebooks (free of charge and free of DRM) have a look at the Baen Free Library .

Technical Info


Most of the files are straight downloads from the Project Gutenberg website. Only the Plucker ebooks made from the HTML version of books which contain images have been recreated to include the images.

The layout of the CD is rather simple:

  • index.html — The navigation page you are currently reading.
  • index_files — The directory contains the helper files for index.html.
  • autorun.inf — Autostarts index.html on Windows PCs when the CD is inserted.
  • Gutenberg SF — In this directory most of the ebooks reside.
    • 10349-h — The first of many subdirectories containing HTML ebooks with images.
    • ShellExec.exe — A very simple Windows program which is used in autorun.inf to start index.html.
    • Gutenberg.ico — This icon is used in Windows to represent the CD. Also set by autorun.inf.
    • CD Label — Here several files reside needed for the creation of the CD.
      • CD Inlay and Booklet Color.pdf — Print out this file to get CD cover, booklet and inlay for the jewelbox. Preferably with a color printer.
      • CD Inlay and Booklet Gray.pdf — Print out this file to get CD cover, booklet and inlay for the jewelbox. Optimized for grayscale printer.
      • SF CD Cover.pdf — A PDF page containing SFBookshelf.tif on a 12cm x 12 cm page to be printed on the CD itself.
      • SF CD Cover.odt — The source file for SF CD Cover.pdf created with OpenOffice.org 2.1.
      • CD Inlay and Booklet Color.odt — The source file for CD Inlay and Booklet Color.pdf created with OpenOffice.org 2.1.
      • CD Inlay and Booklet Gray.odt — The source file for CD Inlay and Booklet Gray.pdf created with OpenOffice.org 2.1.
      • SFBookshelf.tif — The image to print directly on the CD in original size (TIFF format). You will have to reduce the size to about 33% to fit on the CD.
      • SFBookshelfGray.tif — The grayscale version of SFBookshelf.tif.
      • SFBookshelf.jpg — SFBookshelf.tif in JPEG format. Any CD printing program should be able to import it.
      • SFBookshelfGray.jpg — SFBookshelfGray.tif in JPEG format. In case you do not have a decent graphics program.
  • PALM/Launcher — All Plucker and Mobipocket ebooks reside in this directory. Copy it to an SD card and the reader programs on your PDA will find their books automatically.

The CD of course works with any OS which has a decent browser. It has been tested with MacOS X and Linux. The extra files for Windows only create a bit of eye candy and save you the act of clicking index.html yourself. index.html itself works the same on any modern browser. Tested with IE 6 and 7 (Windows), Firefox (Windows and Linux), KHTML (Linux), Opera (Windows) and Safari (MacOS X).
