So, after ordering a bunch of books from used book stores, I discovered the money pit that is Ebay. I put in bids on a set of five Jókai books, a couple of Baroness Orczy novels, a set of Western pulp serials, and a couple volumes of Cornhill magazine. (One of the Cornhill volumes has half of a pretty scarce Trollope novel, so I'll have to keep an eye out for the rest of it.)
I got one book in the mail today, which was a disappointment. I thought it was a copy of The Devil by Ferenc Molnár, but it turned out to be a novelization of an adaptation of The Devil by Ferenc Molnár by Henry W. Savage by Joseph O'Brien. Oops.
I have seven other books in the mail. I might be able to scan two or three books in a day, if it's a weekend, but I also need to set some time aside for proofreading and post-processing, so I probably won't do that much. Which means I'm probably buying too many books, but I'd rather have an ample stockpile than find myself at loose ends.
Speaking of post-processing, my first book was uploaded to Project Gutenberg today. It hasn't shown up on the site yet, but when it does I'll pass along a link.
