This is why I shouldn't post when distracted by other things. Oops.

I think we can all relate to that.
On the other hand, issybird managed to answer this question I had quite succinctly. Last edited by Dazrin; 08-10-2015 at 06:58 PM. Reason: This thread is not my friend. :( |

Hey, it might be fun to go through the thread and see how many books mentioned finally made it to legit ebooks. I still have a list of perhaps 30+ that I want but that's much smaller than my wish list back in 2010.

There are some old WWII books I'd love to see digitally, to name a couple... Twelve O'Clock High by Sy Bartlett & Beirne Lay Jr. Those Devil's in Baggy Pants by Ross S. Carter (and hopefully not at the high prices Naval Institute Press is charging for a few other oldies) Last edited by AnemicOak; 08-10-2015 at 06:19 PM. |

I nominate this as the funniest thread of the week.

I'm listening to The Duke's Children by Anthony Trollope and while looking up some background info, discovered that a couple of years ago a restored version adding 65,000 words or over 25% of its length was published, based on the original manuscript and cuts made by Trollope. The rediscovered version is both funnier and darker, apparently.
And... no ebook. I'd love to read this in conjunction with the audiobook, but I'm not sure I feel like going the paper route. |

Usha Jain's Hindi Grammar series and Terry Jones' Who Murdered Chaucer are three books I'd love to have available in digital format
