It's been a year since the launch of this site and we have a bunch of news for you.

Letters of Insurgents

People have finished processing of Letters of Insurgents through OCR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition), but the text needs further polishing. Different from our usual practice, we have split the text in 10 parts to encourage the editing by the people who participate to the http://insurgentsummer.org/ initiative. So, if you download and read some chapter, please find the typos and the error and fix them back. (As usual, no registration required, just click on Edit on the bar and go!).

If you want to link to us for Letters, the following links are best: http://theanarchistlibrary.org/topics/Letters_of_Insurgents.html or http://theanarchistlibrary.org/authors/Sophia_Nachalo_and_Yarostan_Vochek.html. (These are best because they won't change, whereas the link to the individual chapters will be removed at the end of the insurgentsummer.org initiative, when they'll be packed in a single entry).

Printer-friendly version and Table of Contents toggling

By popular demand, we can now offer you a printer-friendly version of each HTML page. It seems suitable for e-readers that don't support the PDF format.

Also, the visibility of the table of contents can be toggled by clicking on the button in the right corner, bottom of the page. This was to correct for those who found the persistent table of contents to be distracting.

Again, we are glad to receive feedback and input from readers.

You can contact us by mail or join us on IRC (irc.anarchyplanet.org, port 6697, SSL only, channel #library).

New PDF format propagated to the whole site

After some months of testing, the new PDF format (using XeTeX and the Linux Libertine fonts) has been propagated to the whole site. Some minor improvements has been made to offer the best reading experience.

A new, updated formatting how-to has been published. Check it out at http://bookshelf.theanarchistlibrary.org/FormattingHowTo

We hope you'll enjoy.
