I am the maintainer/curator of the mirtitles blog. Please also have a look at our gitlab page where we are typesetting some of the classics in LaTeX https://gi

  Thank you for this. It is indeed a labour of love. Keep up the great work. Your work on the layout for Tarasov's book on Symmetry is outstanding and must have taken a lot of effort and patience. Of course, you are still working on it as you continue to clean it up. Just noticed a minor issue in the image layout in pg. 64 of the document (pg. 72 of the PDF) where Fig. 50 covers some text. Perhaps related to this: https://gitlab.com/mirtitles/tarasov-symmetry/blob/master/05-symmetry-in-nature.tex#L106 https://gitlab.com/mirtitles/tarasov-symmetry/blob/master/05... Thanks again, your work is greatly appreciated.

  That's a stunning quality curation, really impressive! I would love to see more math books in there. There are some great and dear books from my youth that do not still appear... Just one question: what is the motivation for re-typesetting the text? The original typeset was already beautiful. Why didn't you go the way of simply giving an OCRd pdf ?

    The motivation was purely electronic text, though OCR is good for text for mathematics it may not be that good. And it is fun typesetting the books you love!

  What is the license / copyright status of these works? I am interested in possibly doing a similar project and I am wondering if these are unencumbered / free for redistribution.
