I prefer the original spelling in current books. But if the book is written in the UK, I want US punctuation as I don't like UK punctuation.

I don't like single quotes instead of double. En-dash looks like a dash and em-dash is much preferred. I don't like space before and after an em-dash and elipse.

The other issue is that the UK needs to standardize. Some books are the UK way and some the US way and those are books written and published in the UK. I think the UK should use the US way as it look better.
