this makes just 2 pages 4 columns each out of the www.gutenberg.org text
pblak10.zip (if that's what you mean -- unzip, remove the preamble, and
convert all '&' into '\&', then name it pblak10.tex):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=0.3in,paperwidth=8.5in,paperheight=11in]{geometry}
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{4}
\fontsize{5}{6}\selectfont
\input{pblak10}
\end{multicols}
\end{document}

(down and dirty indeed)
