I have never seen any positive posting concerning us (the book assemblers) on this forum from you. Is there a reason for that ?

Well, I have assembled a few books myself; and one of them (a bible) could be seen as a double!
Perhaps it is that you perceive I'm only posting negative comments about book assemblers, which would be silly to do so, since I have uploaded some myself, therefor commenting bad about myself? If I would do so that would probably be because things can be improved! A wise person takes negative comment and uses it to improve!
That's what I did when a user suggested a different formatting on one of my books;but leaving that aside,
In previous post I'm just stating a fact, that has nothing to do with the book assemblers, just with the library; that you need to take things in perspective. 9000 files does not mean different 9000 books!
Check out how many books there are of:
- Robinson Crusoe
- King James Bible
-...(just to name
a few where there are at least triples present, or more, and I think I've still left out many).
I don't need to even start saying how many books are doubles;you can figure that out yourself if you want to spend the time browsing through the library.
Also some are books available in different languages.
And most of all most books uploaded are available in at least 3 formats; so they're uploaded trice.
Those are all valid arguments to state that the library has considerably less than 9000 books; perhaps even less then 2500 unique books.
I think this in no way could be seen as an offense towards book assemblers, unless one is over sensitive and takes everything personal.
Unless someone goes and counts the unique books in the library, a rough estimation like this is probably the closest to reality we can get to how many unique books are in the lib.
