I did a quick look for a good cover image. Here's my attempt. It's easy to change the text if you want different wording but like the picture.

Just being incredibly nit-picky, but the technical title is "A Thousand Nights and a Night." I know, nit-picky, but sometimes I'm like that. Karma to you for helping withthis project, btw.

I'm happy to do whatever title is right, I just chose the common name first.

But is the right title "A Thousand Nights and a Night" or "The Thousand Nights and a Night" or "The Book of The Thousand Nights and a Night" ? :-)

The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night is what Burton titled it.

Ah. I've just seen this. And I've already uploaded the book. Sorry.
But I'm hoping to revise the PRC file to make a proper mobipocket file. So if people like pdurrant's cover then I'm happy to use it.

pdurrant · 09-29-2008, 11:48 AM

I think it's more important that you like it -- you're the one who's put in all the work of conversion.

Anyway, if you do like it, here's a revised version "The Thousand Nights and a Night"

I've used pdurrant's cover for the revised mobi book.

Thanks for designing it.

I've now completed my (long-term) project to reformat all of H. Rider Haggard books in my 16-volume series, plus his autobiography "The Days of My Life". All now have proper dashes, correct paragraph breaks, etc, and the Mobi versions of them are "proper" Mobi books with a cover image, working navigation links, and so on. Much improved over the originals - I'd recommend re-downloading if you have "v1" of any of them.

I should have learned by now the dangers of making remarks like this. I realised, after I'd posted it, that I'd forgotten to include the (numerous) footnotes in "The Days of My Life". While adding them, I've also taken the opportunity to replace the word "pounds" with the British currency symbol, "£", where appropriate. Uploaded new versions for Sony and Mobi. Apologies to the 2 or 3 people who download the incorrect version.

I am working on three (3) additional Kant titles to supplement the one already completed by Patricia last November.

That is good news.

I am contemplating a short series of Kierkegaard uploads.

HarryT · 10-19-2008, 06:06 AM

I'm starting work on John Forster's monumental "Life of Dickens". This is an awfully complicated book and it may take me a while, but it's the natural compliment to my "Complete Works of Dickens" already produced.

Now released. This is a fascinating book. Essential reading for anyone interested in Dickens.

I'm working on The Migration of Symbols by the Count Goblet d'Alviella. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be and may take a while.

Patricia · 10-26-2008, 08:12 PM

That sounds interesting, VR. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
