nice cover

a question, if you don't mind, why did you do this book? do you love it? did it change your world? is it one that you can't live without?was madam broshkina's version so bad that it had to be done again?

i thought her version was great, easy to read and available in multiple versions, you only add mobipocket versions of books others have already done

sure the covers are new so why post only stuff that we already have when there is so much never posted yet? why post another version of something we already have without adding anything new? why post only once version when there are many posting lots of formats, like patricia?

some of the others are a pleasure to read, proper quotes and em dashes, here all dashes are short hyphens, this is publishing and typesetting man, not a typewriter manuscript, use the tools you have to make better books, not poor copies of something someone else has already done better

don't get me wrong, i love to read and read stuff i've never read before, i just can;t understand why you are spending your time doing poor copies with great covers of stuff that has already been done better before by others

i love giving karma and doughnuts, i like doughnuts, i can't do it here, i want to give you karma and doughnuts, i want you to post more books here, post more books in more formats here,

add something to the books, if i want a "automatic" translation i can get it from manybooks, you have better covers

i don't mean to sound harsh, i hate to see so much effort put into something already done, explore new fields, introduce new writers, give us something we've never seen before and give it to us in multiple formats so all of us can enjoy it
