Contact the catalogue project
We welcome observations, corrections and questions from readers who use the Public Domain Literature Library. Your reports help maintain the accuracy and readability of the catalogue for everyone.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us if you notice:
- Incorrect or missing author, title, or contributor metadata
- A title placed in an unsuitable category — for instance, a sea voyage story filed under Exploration Survival Adventure Tales
- An ebook file that does not open, displays garbled text, or fails to render on your device or browser
- A reader failure such as missing chapters, broken internal links, or corrupted images
- Accessibility problems, including poor contrast, missing alt text, or screen-reader incompatibility
- Privacy questions about how your reading activity or personal data is handled
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title on the site is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, please let us know
- General editorial observations, such as a suggestion for a new category or a note about a book’s historical context
What to Include
To help us investigate efficiently, please provide as many of the following details as possible:
- The exact URL (web address) of the page where you encountered the issue
- The full title of the ebook and, if known, the author’s name
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device or browser you were reading on (e.g., Kindle Paperwhite, Firefox on Windows, Safari on iPhone)
- A clear description of the problem — what you expected to happen and what actually occurred
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information you are able to share (e.g., a publication date that may indicate the work is still under copyright in your country)
How to Send
Please address your message to the catalogue project [email protected]. We read every submission carefully and use your reports to improve the catalogue. Because we are a small editorial team, we may not be able to reply individually to every message, but each report is reviewed.
Our Approach
The Public Domain Literature Library is an independent Catalogue maintenance uses source records and bibliographic context. We do not sell books, host advertisements, or collect personal data beyond what you choose to share in your email. Your privacy is respected; we will not add you to any mailing list or share your contact information without your explicit consent.
If you are writing about a specific title — such as The Worst Boy in Town, Through Swamp and Glade: A Tale of the Seminole War, or Dorothy Dale in the West — including the edition or guide name (e.g., Edition Insights, Reading Companion) helps us locate the correct record quickly.
Thank you for helping us keep this library reliable and welcoming for all readers.
