Having read my own e-copy already, the formatting errors are relatively minor (wordsquish rather than 7yp0-ridd1ed) but still moderately annoying and I'll be contacting Amazon with a list of them so they can get fixed.
For sf/mystery lovers the sale has also got some Lawrence Block and Alan Dean Foster for $1.99 or less, classic David Gerrold and Richard Matheson award-winners for $2.99, and for regular science lovers, one of James Gleick's books for about $2.99. |
Thanks - I've been wanting to try her, so thought this was a good time. I just recently found out that she had been married to George Alec Effinger, too.
That's what I saw in the sample - just words squashed together - and not that many. I figured if it really bugged me I could fix it, but I will add to the list of complainers to Amazon. lol Good idea.
I read the Matheson one and it's not one of my favorites, but a lot of people like it. I find him to be very hit or miss. Will have to check out the others.
