Edward, thank you for making this book available for free download. I've looked at the first few pages of the book and was somewhat taken aback to see that it has neither indentation of the first lines of paragraphs, nor spacing between paragraphs. This makes it rather difficult to read! Obviously I can easily change the paragraph formatting myself, but it really should be right to begin with - not everyone will know how to edit their book.

If you will simply open the book yourself and view your sample, you will see that Harry is right.
This is very off-setting and should be corrected. I can't imagine anyone who would want to read a book that has no indents WHEN the book also has no lines separating the paragraphs. Again, simply open your sample on Amazon and view it for yourself. |

Understand, please, that having spaces between paragraphs is a personal matter. BUT, when there are no spaces AND when there are no indents you get this: It was a badly formatted book on the best of days and on the worst of days. Let all good men come to the aid of their ebook. And women, too. It was the worst of formatted boooks and no one wanted to read it - Hoooooooooo, boy! New paragraph: it was the worst of days, it was the best of days. It was a badly formatted ebook that the author will attempt to correct. |

My thanks to you both. A updated version with indents is now in review and should be published shortly.

Many thanks, Edward. As I said, it's no big deal for knowledgeable people to correct, but the majority of readers won't have that knowledge.
It looks like an interesting book and I look forward to reading it. |
