Barsoom Omnibus
In case anyone's interested, I've just posted a completely revised version of my omnibus edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom" Martian stories to the MR library in BBeB, Mobi, and ePub formats. This has been painstakingly proofread against printed versions of all 11 books that comprise the omnibus, during which process goodness knows how many thousands of errors have been corrected, and a great deal of missing text restored.

Links:

BBeB (Sony) format
Mobipocket (Kindle) format
ePub format

I would now regard this as a "finished product". If you find even the smallest problem with it, please let me know so that I can put it right.

This is the result of almost 5 months work; I hope that other people enjoy the result as much as I do.

Thanks, and enjoy .

Decent! Maybe I'll have to watch the movie after all, just to appreciate the books even more.

Thank you very much for your hard work.

I'm looking at the ePub. Now for the problems...

The cover image is not aspect ratio correct. It's too squished vertically. Page 2 & 3 should be one page. This is the title page that has been split in two.

That's all I see that could use some fixing. I can't say if these problems exist in the other two versions.

Thank you! Downloading now. It's been many years since I read any of these, and it should be fun to go back to them.

Excellent Harry, many thanks.

Have you any thoughts on someday revisiting the Tarzan series and perhaps removing the Ballantine Books censoring atrocities?
