Thread Name: Dj project: A through D now up

I just put up the "D" authors. So we now have dust jackets for a total of 100 ML authors (A through D) in the categories of flexis, hardbacks, giants, illustrateds, and P-series paperbacks, years 1928 through 1970.

Once again, the goal is to have a complete catalog of all post Dj-4 dust jackets for all authors. Please check to see what you have that I do not.

Also note the ones where I indicate a year followed by a bracketed questionmark [?]. This means that the year is a guess because the person who sent it to me or the image I stole from the Internet wasn't dated. If you know the date of one of these questionamrked images, please let me know.

Some of the entries are fairly complete [Dostoyevsky], and some are obviously incomplete [de Maupassant].

While we're on de Maupassant, my alphabetizing is quirky. Notice that all the "D"s are together - that is, Du Maurier and de Maupassant and de Bauvoir Alighieri Alighieri. When I have time, I'll be double-listing these people: Dante Alighieri will also be listed under "A", Du Maurier will also be under "M", and so on.

Please report misspellings and typos -- I know there must be some, but this stuff always needs a second set of eyes.

As usual, click the torchbearer to the right of "Collecting the Modern Library" to see this stuff. Later today I'll be going public with this database, but the clickable colophon will remain.
