Fix Notes:
Page 34: par. 3: Decidedly
Decidedy she had taken him by surprise, perhaps on account of the environment, wherein one did not look for such delicate little sprites.
Page 63: par. 3: thinking
“Were you thinkng of that, three years ago?”
Page 76: par. 3: never closes quotation marks
“But —life’s pretty lonesome. ... I like a girl . . . near me. ... I used to know a lot of chorus girls in Chicago; jolly kids. . . .
Page 80: par. 2: patronesses
They did begin with the patronnesses, who represented every shade of the town’s evolution toward “society,” as Mary explained.
Page 86: par. 0: precision
Her regal height dwarfed the little man; his stout bow legs bore him gallantly, moving with a deft precison that gave the final touch of burlesque.
Page 117: par. 1: "collar-bone" was used 3 times elsewhere in the book, so I normalized this
A tiny dent in her upper lip, a delicate depression at the apex of her collar bone, delighted him; he kissed them, and cuddled her like a pet kitten.
Page 162: par. 2: inaccessibility
And slowly her inacessibility had wrought on him.
Page 191: par. 1: Should be left DOUBLE quote
‘Maybe I’ll see them some day in the magazines.”
Page 287: par. 2: himself
The lover may fancy his lady’s perfections so obvious that none can miss them, short of imbecility; but every true husband knows that only himeslf can see his wife as she deserves to be seen.
QUESTIONABLE:
Page 258: par. 3: promised
He prom-ished rashly that they should return some day and loot it, even unto repletion.

Definitely still converting. I haven't stopped, just was working on a lot of non-Mises EPUBs + official EPUBs (up in the Mises Literature section).
DeleteI didn't update blog at the extremely quick pace I was previously.
I will toss these recommendations on my "to do" list. Thanks for pointing them out!
And another suggestion for conversion to epub.

Thanks for the reply. Just came across another classic that might be worthwhile, "The American Language" by Mencken. Google has a EPUB version that might be okay, but looks like it could use some cleaning up. I think it may be just an OCR of a scan.
