Getting info about the data before download

[edilsonacjr]

I think that for most people there is no need to download the entire Gutenberg Project but just some part of it, so if it's possible to apply some filters before would really help (filters such as: authos, year, category).

we don't plan to implement this feature at the moment, but I'm leaving the issue opened to track interest

Before I dive into this, is it "all languages" or English only?

Thanks, Ian

[fontclos]

all languages

You might want to have a quick look at the metadata here: https://zenodo.org/record/2422561/files/SPGC-metadata-2018-07-18.csv?download=1

So noted, thanks. Trying to find a sane English plain-text corpus without mangled formatting.

@fontclos I have checked the metadata, but I cannot retrieve the bookshelves "tag" as it is done in Figure 4 in the paper. How can I get those 370 books? Just so you know, I intend to reproduce the results with the same books used in the Figure. Thanks!
