How to reach the catalogue project

- Source link or catalogue issues — If a Project Gutenberg source link is unavailable, or if a catalogue page contains a broken link or display problem, please send us the ebook title, the catalogue page URL, and a short description of the issue.
- Accessibility problems – missing alt text, poor contrast, or other barriers that make the catalogue or ebooks difficult to use.
- Privacy questions – concerns about data collection, cookies, or any personal information handled by the site.
- Copyright or rights concerns – if you believe a work is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a title and wish to discuss its status.
- General editorial observations – suggestions, critical feedback, or comments about the catalogue’s selection, annotations, or reading guides (such as those for War paint, Stubborn people, or The Arctic legions).

Our editorial approach
NOKIV Catalogue is an catalogue project based in the United Kingdom, focused on public-domain fiction and bibliographic research. He personally reviews each message and works to resolve issues as carefully as possible. While we cannot guarantee a response within a specific timeframe, every report is taken seriously and contributes to the ongoing refinement of the catalogue.
Additional guidance for your message
If you are reporting a file failure, please mention whether the issue occurs across multiple titles or only a single one. For metadata corrections, it is helpful to indicate your source of the correct information, such as a library catalogue or a reliable reference work. When writing about accessibility concerns, describe the specific barrier you encountered—for instance, whether a screen reader misread a heading or an image lacked a description. For rights inquiries, include the jurisdiction you are writing from and any relevant publication history you are aware of. This context helps us evaluate the matter more accurately.
We also welcome suggestions for titles you believe should be added to the catalogue. If you have a recommendation, please include the author’s full name, the original publication date, and a brief note on why the work fits our collection. While we cannot add every suggestion, each one is reviewed against the catalogue’s editorial criteria.
Thank you for helping us maintain a trustworthy resource for readers everywhere.
