Wallace, Edgar: The Adventures of Heine. v2. 23 December 2011
An unusal venture for Edgar Wallace, a humorous espionage book. Heine (no other name given) is the inept, vain, and entirely self-unaware boss of Germany's spy network in Britain during WW1.
Told in the first person by Heine, the book is really a series of (usually disastrous) episodes at various stages during the war. It was first published as a series of short stories during 1918, then in hardback in 1919. This version was scanned from a disintegrating paperback edition c 1930 to rescue it before the crumbling brown pulp paper totally consumed itself. It uses the original cover from the paperback, which while detached was of higher quality paper. This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution. Copyright laws differ throughout the world, and it may still be under copyright in some countries. Before downloading, please check your country's copyright laws. If the book is under copyright in your country, do not download or redistribute this work.

I see no cover, and there is no author in the metadata (at least, according to calibre).

The prc version created with mobipocket creator may well work better. This was my first fumbling attempt at creating an epub from scratch.
