I'm similarly very disappointed that Simple was deleted. There was
some good content there and several Wikibookians had spent a fair
amount of time looking through it. I'm furthermore surprised that
no-one contacted Wikibooks as I thought it was well known that we had
expressed our interest.

Whom do we contact to try to retrieve the content?

Sincerely,
Martin Swift
