Ballantyne, R. M.: The Coral Island. v1. 14 June 07
Continuing with Island fiction.
Ballantyne wrote a lot of adventure fiction in the late 1800s. I just saw this book and almost bought it. (Confession: I haven't read this.) Hey! Someone owes me a 3rd "umbrella drink." Here are two different quotes: "Three English boys, shipwrecked on a deserted island, create an idyllic society despite typhoons, wild hogs, and hostile visitors. Then evil pirates kidnap one of the youths whose adventures continue among the South Sea Islands." "With many adventures of discovery, bloodly battles, pirates and a cat! - it's clear from the start that this book is a book of fresh air from the usual run-of-the-mill survival stories." I hope you enjoy it. Don This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.

I really like how you name an actual file, i.e. including author's name. No need to rename them

Thank you.....

Meta-data is apparently the embedded data that contains the author's name and title on the actual file. On my Reader, I like to have the author's name last. If I (or someone else) screws up on this, it can easily be corrected. I use EditLrfMetaGUI to edit and correct these ommissions. I don't have the link to this, if you need it. (Perhaps someone can do that, or even suggest a better [?] program to edit meta-data.) Anyway, I try to put the last name first on all my files on my computer, too, so they're quite easy to find. The one exception is the Harvard Classics. Don |
