Love Lines (Love Lines, # 1) by Diana Nixon ??In order to become available at public domain, the author must be dead 50y ago.

Please do not misunderstand the GP's role on the public domain basic rules.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow graphic novel by Bo Walton? Probably not a Gutenberg book, although they likely have the Washington Irving work.

I'm guessing that's not the Gutenberg Project's translation of the Kama Sutra, either. It looks as if most of the links in this list go to editions other than Gutenberg's, and while it may not matter much for some, for others, it definitely would.

Yes, Gutenberg has it, but the edition in the list is a later translation published in 1994 by Park Street Press.

Leah wrote: "Yes, Gutenberg has it, but the edition in the list is a later translation published in 1994 by Park Street Press."Lets find out how to fix this problem, just wrote Susanna's opinion on this issue.
I would not remove novels who otherwise qualify but have the different cover and edition (from Gutenberg) on this list.Because all the editions of the novel are combined together (or are supposed to be), and every time someone adds a more popular edition of the novel, and the votes are combined together, the "winner" of the combine will be the edition that is more popular. Which is probably not going to be the Gutenberg edition.
You can't change the edition without eliminating all the votes, and I am very reluctant to do that for a novel which otherwise qualifies.

Very true Susanna, may thanks. Leah, lets leave as it is.
