eBooks we're working on

[HarryT]

Now I've got my Gen3, I've decided to concentrate for the time being on producing improved versions of my favourite books, especially for MobiPocket. I'm re-doing them in BD, preserving proper dashes etc (just to make Jon happy!), and making sure they have a cover pic that shows up properly in the Gen3's library.

I've just uploaded (another) improved version of my "Haggard Anthology Vol 1", and a significantly better "Father Brown Omnibus".

Want to also fix the Dr. Thorndyke books?

[HarryT]

They are high on my priority list! It's not trivial to do these - the Father Brown one took me about 4h work.

I recently finished the first book in the first omnibus and I rather enjoyed it. So I'll wait till the revised sedition before moving onto the next. Thanks.

I just wish that I had read the Haggard many years ago. He can sure tell a story.

[JSWolf]

But you get to read Haggard now and enjoy.

Very true and very enjoyable. Thanks Harry.

As promised, new versions of Dr Thorndyke Vol 1 uploaded. More to follow.

I've spent the whole day creating a new version of my "Sherlock Holmes Omnibus". Completely re-formatted the material to preserve dashes, etc, and replaced much of book by new updated source material. Now properly formatted for MobiPocket devices such as the iLiad and CyBook Gen3, displays a cover picture, etc.

This is an ongoing work. If you find any errors, or have suggestions for further improvements, please do let me know.

I've recreated my "Raffles Omnibus", containing the four "Raffles" books by E.W.Hornung. Complete re-formatting, preserved dashes, added cover image for iLiad and Gen3. Uploaded v2 for both Sony and Mobi.

[HarryT]

I've uploaded a completely revised version of the "Dr Thorndyke, Vol 2" omnibus with improved layout, preservation of dashes, cover image for iLiad and Gen3, etc.

[HarryT]

Uploaded a new version of my E.F.Benson "Mapp and Lucia" omnibus. Improved the layout and formatting, and added a cover picture and a picture of the author.

[HarryT]

Completely re-created Vol 2 of my H. Rider Haggard Anthology, adding many of the illustrations which were missing from the original version (which I managed to find from an on-line version in Australia). Improved the layout and formatting. Added a cover picture for iLiad and Gen3. Uploaded v2.

I think that this is my personal favourite volume of all the Haggard books I've uploaded. "She" is a wonderful book, one of the greatest adventure stories ever written (IMHO), and its three sequels/prequels are excellent too.

In an effort to make my "Sherlock Holmes Omnibus" as "definitive" a version as possible, I've started carefully proofreading it against a good printed edition of SH (Leslie Klinger's "New Annotated Sherlock Holmes"). I've got about half way through "A Study in Scarlet" so far, and found and fixed literally dozens of minor errors, ranging from spelling mistakes (mainly in proper names) through to punctuation errors (missing question marks, commas where there should be semi-colons, etc).

Because this is likely to be a long-term project, what I plan to do is release a new version every time I finish proof-reading a book in the omnibus, rather than doing that whole thing at once.

Just uploaded a new v5 of "Sherlock Homes" which now has both "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of the Four" proofed and corrected. "The Sign of Four" was in a shocking state with errors in virtually every sentence. I've corrected literally hundreds of errors in it.
