Bibliomancer serves the text.

When copyright ends, access should expand. Every Bibliomancer text is therefore free to read online in full, without an account, a paywall, advertising or an email address. Nothing on this site is for sale; a voluntary contribution from readers is what funds the archive, and it never becomes a tollbooth in front of it.

But access alone is not enough. A raw transcription is not an edition. Reading requires structure, typography, provenance, judgment and the willingness to stop when evidence is weak. Automation makes this work repeatable; it does not make care optional.

Governing rules

• The author’s text is not training material for a rewrite. Bibliomancer restores and typesets; it does not modernise prose or impersonate a writer.
• Every intervention leaves a trace. Automated corrections are recorded and can be inspected.
• Editorial work identifies itself. Introductions, biographies and descriptions are clearly separated from source texts and checked against reliable evidence.
• Rights are territorial and uncertain books wait. A title is assessed in every territory it is offered. Ambiguity holds the title back; nothing publishes on a guess.
• One system, visibly consistent. The black-and-red fiction livery and its red-and-black non-fiction inverse make the archive recognisable without disguising one book as another.
• Nothing here guesses. Discovery, correction and preparation are automated; what cannot be verified is held, not published.

If this is your kind of arrangement, the archive is open.
