1 Attachment(s)
Achmed Abdullah (12 May 1881 – 12 May 1945) is an American writer of mystery, crime, and adventure pulps, and screenplays for some successful films. He was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, May 12, 1881, of Arab and Tartar stock. Educated in India, England, France, and Germany. Bachelor of Letters, Sorbonne, Paris. Served in British-Indian and Ottoman armies.

Many of these are from wikisource.org as well as magazines or books on archive.org. A few may be from Roy Glashan's Library in Australia and Project Gutenberg.

The formatting is what I think of as a "Slim 'n Trim" format; no images, no embedded fonts, and I've tried to design the CSS so that there is a minimum of tagging of html elements with classes.

It should work on any Kindle since it's a dual MOBI file (produced by Kindle Previewer 3) which contains both the AZW3/KF8 format as well as the ancient MOBI format, although don't get your hopes up about the antique MOBI format looking nice.

I haven't proofread it yet; feel free to send me any errors or typos you may find.

The first story, Mirza Fateh Khan, had lots of OCR errors.

"Ambassador of poker", a scan from an old magazine, had a ton of typos. I also fixed the initial description; many are from wikisource.org, not just from old magazines.
