I've noticed several problems recurring in Gutenberg ebooks. Mistakes in the words per se are rare, but: * substitutes for characters missing from ASCII (e.g. L for £, no proper dashes) * incorrectly delimited chapter heads (e.g.: *CHAPTER 11: THE GREAT* BOONDOGGLE George Boondoggle sat on his lawn... instead of *CHAPTER 11: THE GREAT BOONDOGGLE* George Boondoggle sat on his lawn...) * footnotes appearing in the middle of a page (based on the pagination of the original print edition, perhaps) * missing italics, underlines, etc. * ASCII-fied equations and diagrams These do not detract from PG's original goal of being an archive of plain text, and suffice to provide scholars of the 22nd century a good view of what was written in the 19th, but they do detract from the experience of somebody who just wants to read Anna Karenina for fun. (Especially if they are a typography nerd like me)
