We have now been advised of an etext of
Dot and Tot of Merryland (external link) after
searching for years.
We are to be sure not the only place these texts can be found.
See www.bookvalley.com,www.worldwideschool.org,www.literature.org
for versions where the Oz ones,at least,are stored as trees of HTML files,
Sunny Koh's Australian site
or Project Gutenberg for plain text files.
However,we're aware of noplace else that stores each book as a single HTML
file with a "working" table of contents.And providing the Baum Oz texts is
the main point of our site,not a sideline of a comprehensive Oz site or
book-text site.
