ETA: I'm reading this one now, Puppets by Daniel Hecht for $1.99. Really good book, good writing, grabs you from the start, but the formatting issues are terrible. Words run together or split up in weird ways. It took me a minute to figure out that "as allow-faced jerk" was supposed to be "a sallow-faced jerk." "someone else would be Anthe second floor." Okayyyy. These are every few pages. Really ruining it. Publisher is Bloomsbury USA. I have some of their other books, and I hope they're not all like that. |
That's typical of some PDF-to-mobi conversion tools. I see it all the time in review copies, since many of the publisher email the PDFs to a Kindle account and force conversion.
Since the book is out of print, I suspect it is self-pubbed, with the paper publisher added by the author into DTP.
I wish Amazon would flag all KDP entries, rather than allow anything to be entered into the publisher field. I would expect something actually published by Bloomsbury to have been checked a bit more closely.
