People are giving a wonderful book one-star ratings because the dingbats who re-published LW did a really sh--y job. I thought people were just having trouble with the e-book, which is much easier to fix if people will properly report the errors in the "book". But I felt a bit sick after reading hundreds of comments saying "The paper was such crap that the words ran through. I gave it to Goodwill!" (that was sh---y too, but I can only fight one battle for the moment.<br />Please - if you must "build an empire" or whatever your personal reason is to publish and sell CLASSICS that are now in the public domain? Please do it right. I don't want people to dismiss all books because some look like they were written by a blind monkey, it's too sad.

If we annotate a public domain book, offering new information that aligns with our niche, is that book still considered public domain? Or does the annotation make it a new book?<br /><br />Thanks again. I was really happy to find this. I'm just at the beginning of this series. This helped a lot.Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502517103187086100noreply@blogger.com
