numbers - perhaps reorganization based on dewey ranges?

Any range you are particularly interested in?

Excellent. I look forward to this.
What I would like is to be able to easily filter out a dump of books by
broad subject
domain, e.g. mathematics or statistics, and then be able to do some serious
processing of those
locally. This should be easier to provide than a full API, right? Who to
contact to lobby for
priority for such use cases?

Great thanks to all those who contributed to this effort.
