Thank you

The content is good... but the editing is an absolute joke! Was this a rough draft that got published by mistake? In the FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE INTRODUCTION (pg. 14) the first six lines are copy/pasted twice! Line for Line, in the first paragraph! How do you publish this? Seriously! The next page has Latin that is only partially right. "Pulvis et umbra sumus" is a FAMOUS quote from Horace, and the author writes "pulvis AND umbra sumis".. AND? You couldn't look up "ET"? It's not like you're being expected to manage the declensions and conjugations... it's the word AND. Though, that said, she also spelled "sumus" incorrectly. 4 word quote, easily checked, and you made 2 mistakes...in four words. The only saving grace (The only reason I'm not demanding a refund) is that the book is a collection of various works from multiple writers. If it were all written by the author of the introduction, it would be unreadable.

This is review of the kindle edition.Introduction starts with the same sentences repeated twice. I mean, how hard to spot that? Instead of images we get the ❌ for each and every one of them. (I checked on PC and I-pad). So my experience from the start is very unpleasant. I have nothing to say about the text but I think I’m going to return this book.

This really makes you wonder Great read

thank you
