Each year I look forward to receiving the Project Gutenberg collection along with the CD InfoBase. Now that I have a 32 MB Palmtop, I am interested in carrying a few e-books with me. The problem is that, as the collection of books grows, it becomes more difficult to browse through the titles and authors. Of course, the time I'd most want to browse is when I'm away from my desktop.
Has anyone created a GDB database of Gutenberg files? This would be very useful. If it doesn't already exist, I strongly encourage Thaddeus to create it and ship it with the CD. It would be a pain to build it the first time, but maintenance each year would not be so bad.

This sounds like a good idea and should be do-able. It would require a 1200 item file and would need some forethought about the different fields to put in each item.
