You know, the thing is, the formatting is rubbish. This is one book that could easily be reported to Amazon because of this. No paragraphs and no proper punctuation. It's rubbish before you start reading. It needs fixing. By reporting it, maybe it'll finally get fixed.

Hello Amazon, this is rubbish.

I didn't comment on this before, but he apparently has the entire series listed twice: the freebies and the ones he sells.

It seems that the BOOK version actually has paragraph breaks along with the indentation of the first lines of each paragraph. This is rather disconcerting.

Here's the part about all of that that's piquing my curiosity:

Quote:
"...Foreign Diplomat,Consultant on Foreign Policies and Economics,Adviser to two Presidents,President Bush and President Obama in By-Partisan way..."
What? I mean, WHAT?

I think the only thing one can do is to look at this information in a sexy way and smile.




ADDED: Although, in my case, if I looked at ANYTHING in a sexy way, my face would break.

Yeeeeaaaaaaaaah, I'm pretty sure that my days of looking at things "in a sexy way" are behind me. If I did that now, I'd probably get locked up for terrifying small children and dogs.
