I was reading Last Secrets, a John Buchan book, which lead me on to Mount Everest, a reconnaissance, which is available at Google books as an epub.

Knowing the book is going to have several errors, I bring it up in Sigil and all that shows are the early table of contents pages and the rest is all black.

I switch to code view and Google had set the background to BLACK!!!! Black text on a black background is not readable.

Editing background to white while in code view and it is just fine now.

Posting to help others who get a similar epub from Google.
