If you know of an weird-greekie-name publisher who issued an book which didn't come from Gutenberg ?

PG now issues some books with clickable TOCs but the older ones never have this so a good reason may exist for taking the Kindle freebie.

The question is, why do they omit illustrations ?

Their plan is to add a cover image and a clickable TOC and push it out so I don't see how taking the non-illustrated version helps unless Amazon objected to the larger file size.

Does anyone review PG output for points like that ?

footnotes and index. }
