If your goal is to obtain an original version of some of these works you can look forward to paying hundreds of dollars, in some cases.<br /><br />I begin by reformatting the work; sometimes (especially with Victorian era literature!) the spacing is inordinately large. For Enlightenment era works, inordinately small. Sometimes the only easily obtained version of a work is a facsimile- I&#39;ve spoken of this- that&#39;s where some goofball grabs a scan and doesn&#39;t change it at all, retaining any grammar errors, poor format, etc. These usually have one star ratings for a reason.<br /><br />Once the work is in a better format (something modern) I proofread the work, correcting any mistakes I find, and modernizing the language used- old works tend to have a lot of thees and thous and so forth, or use words that someone not inclined towards English wouldn&#39;t understand- archaic terms, basically.<br /><br />Once the work is grammatically sound I write a short foreword, create new cover art for it (I don&#39;t use the very basic automated system supplied for cover art) and release it.<br /><br />In some cases the work needs illustrating- in the past I&#39;ve done this myself but lately I&#39;ve hired an illustrator since it takes me a lot longer.<br /><br />A final point; my editions are often the least expensive, which was one of my main goals to begin with- to release hand edited, non-facsimile versions of old spiritual works at as low a cost as possible, so that people of any economic condition could obtain them.Styxhexenhammer666https://www.blogger.com/profile/14058499234232957464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713200635808741768.post-19702178401849058192017-07-15T02:12:35.029-07:002017-07-15T02:12:35.029-07:00The one thing that i don&#39;t understand is what ...The one thing that i don&#39;t understand is what does it mean that you &quot;edit&quot; previous works. Do you remove parts of it? Do you change the languaging? Do you add drawings? Seriously, if you were to explain what does it mean and why your works should be purchased rather than the originals than you&#39;d probably have way more sales.EX MLOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952065680830650264noreply@blogger.com
