Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days
Another selection from the Midwest Journal Writers' Club - Classic Sci-fi Fiction
-->
About this book:
Around the World in
Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is a
classic adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published
in 1873. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed
French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80
days on a £20,000 wager (roughly £1,324,289 today) set by his
friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed
works.
During this
adventure, the reclusive bachelor finds love, is involved in
mastering various catastrophes place in his path, and spends half his
wealth in pursuit of the wager. The story involves cliff-hanger
outcomes right through to the surprise ending.
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Another Midwest Journal Writers' Club Selection
About this book:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel. Written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
Alice is feeling bored while sitting on the
riverbank with her sister, when she notices a talking, clothed White
Rabbit with a pocket watch run past. She follows it down a rabbit
hole when suddenly she falls a long way to a curious hall with many
locked doors of all sizes. She finds a small key to a door too small
for her to fit through, but through it she sees an attractive garden.
She then discovers a bottle on a table labelled "DRINK ME",
the contents of which cause her to shrink too small to reach the key
which she has left on the table. A cake with "EAT ME" on it
causes her to grow to such a tremendous size her head hits the
ceiling...

How to publish 4 ebook versions simultaneously on Lulu, iTunes, B&N, and Kobo
Public Domain Publishing Made Easy...
Here's a how-to on getting used to publishing public domain books (and your own work) easily and simply.
This project was started to give writers a way to find the all-time bestsellers of classic fiction so they could study and improve their craft (as Stephen King advised in his "On Writing.")
The other thing public domain books are good for is to streamline your own publishing efforts so you can get a book you've written up and online for purchase simply, quickly, easily.
Online distributors, as a whole, don't appreciate public domain books. They aren't big profit-makers. And get-rich-quick knuckleheads will try to get their own version up and try to "make money" with the least effort. Frankly, books that are in this category make very little money these days - unless you add in additional value. But know that their glory days are long gone. However, that makes your marketing that much easier, as at least they've had glory days - and so are fairly well known already.

Top bestseller fiction book list almost complete
Your Writers' Club Book Selections are almost all ready...
Been hard at this recently, getting all your books ready. Just 4 more to go at this point.
Then, I'll come back and start telling you about each and every one. In doing that, I'll polish them up a bit more (doing double-checks, etc.) as well as publishing other formats, such as their PDF version and spiral-bound printed Study Guide version.
All so you can study (and enjoy) these classics to your heart's content.
I also owe you a blow-by-blow how-to on setting out on such an adventure on your own. Not for the faint-at-heart, nor those who dislike hands-on marketing your own books. (That might even wind up as an additional chapter for "Just Publish! Ebook Creation for Indie Authors." Ya gotta love how books can be revised and updated when you control your own publishing process...)
Just wanted to drop you a note about things - and let you know to get ready to start your studies.
