i just reported Norman Spinrad's The Iron Dream. the book is littered with typos, poor formatting, bizarre symbols replacing letters and spaces and they charge a full $8 for the book. no publisher name is given either, its just posted by whoever.

the only other option for a reader is to buy a hardcopy which ranges from $58-$300. it sucks that the only current version "in print" is a disgusting and angering mess.
