If anyone is looking for a novel, "Stoner" (one of the books reissued by NYRB) was an incredible read. I read most of it in the loft of a private library deep in the Ventana Wilderness (west of Big Sur). It was hard to put down
and deeply moving. I ended up buying about five copies that I gave away to friends.
They published "The Anatomy of Melancholy", which is a insanely long / funny / wild 17th century tract on (considerably more than just) depression.
IDEA: Can organizations like YC and other VCs fund such activities? Series would have a nicely printed version and a pdf version free to read online. All nicely typeset. Can start with a series on “Forgotten Sci-fi” classics, e.g. Tiptree’s stories, <i>A Voyage to Arcturus</i>, etc.<p>How much would such a thing cost?
