Teleread is definitely the go-to blog for quality information about ebooks--I read it devotedly for years, and only unsubscribed earlier this year because I am now spending so little time online, but Teleread can still suck me in.

A few of Sayers books are early enough to get through the copyright cut-off date, so I would point you to archive.org and then do a search for Dorothy Sayers and select "texts" from the combo box.

I was very excited to find the _Omnibus_, for which I've been searching for in etext format for years. I had a paper copy of _Omnibus of Crime_, which is still a classic for early horror, mystery, anddetective fiction, but the paper copy disintegrated while I was attempting to scan it. There should be a word for the way pages come loose and flutter to the opposite side of the room while one is attempting to scan the thinning pages, never to be found again--perhaps a loss of pages?

A couple of years back, I collected and/or scanned all the Lord Peter books, if you are interested in having them in ebook form. Alexx got hooked on them also, so I think they've also all been proofread for scannos.
