Second Volume of Free Stories Eligible for 1941 Retro Hugos

Short Fiction Eligible for the 1941 Retro-Hugos Vol. 2, a collection of 25 public domain stories, has been issued by File 770 commenter von Dimpleheimer. (A link to the first volume is here.)

The stories included in Short Fiction Eligible for the 1941 Retro-Hugos Vol 2 are free of known copyright restrictions. The PulpScans group scanned in the original magazines. Stories were then checked for copyright, compiled, converted, formatted, and proofread by von Dimpleheimer Press.

These books are created to help MidAmeriCon II members who will vote next year on the Retro Hugos (along with the regular Hugos).

The links lead to a Google storage drive.

The editor adds:

This time I also created a Kindle version, converted that back to epub and it works fine with ADE 4.5. I would only recommend the ADE epub if the epub from the first link doesn’t work well with a particular reading program.

(He has also produced an ADE epub version of Volume 1, to complement the existing epub and Kindle versions.)
