Ebook very well. Paperback pitiful.

The edition of this book is outrageous. I call it robbery
The contents shows 145 pages.
First, the pages are not numbered.
Then, the contents indicates some exercises decription from page 122 to 145. However, this part is simply not in the book.
Finally, this book is the ebook version but sloppy: the ebook format was very poorly resized to fit in a little book, but the margins of the books are not adjusted.. So we end up with pages 12.5X20.5 (cm) format and a text with margins on the top and bottom of the page, more than 3 cm each.

So, don't buy this paperback, which is incomplete on the most useful part, compared to the eBook Version

The ebook version is very well and above all, it's complete.

Edit 16/06/2015 : I should specify that the error comes from the printer. The author is very nice and he provides high quality work..
For me, this is the best book on the subject.

Barbara Kingsolver's exquisite "Prodigal Summer" is one of the best books I've ever read.

But the Kindle version I just bought tonight (to enjoy reading it again, without having to unearth my long-unseen paperback) is atrocious.

Not just bad; atrocious.

In the first 18 pages, I found three serious errors where combinations of missing/extraneous words, missing/extraneous punctuation and/or incorrect paragraphing made it impossible to tell what text was intended and whether that text was supposed to be private thoughts of the narrator, spoken words by the narrator, or spoken words by woodsman Eddie Bondo.

One example:  On page 18, when Eddie Bondo asks the narrator, " How do you know it's breeding?", there follows a paragraph in quotes obviously containing her answer.  Then comes the next paragraph: "'Amazi Eddie Bondo."  That's it.  Nothing else.  Presumably spoken words, because there's a beginning quote mark.  But no ending quote mark, even though the next paragraph begins "'Oh, it's not....'" -- clearly a spoken contradiction of something before it, implying a change in speaker, so the previous speech must have ended already -- but how could it have ended without a closing quote mark?  And what exactly is "'Amazi Eddie Bondo" supposed to mean, anyway, regardless of whose voice it's in?  The text has been garbaged.  Unfortunately, this was part of an important interaction between two key characters that sets up the entire rest of the book.  If I care (and why else would I be reading it?), I have to go find another copy of the book to pin down what's actually going on here.

And this was the third such example in just the first 18 pages.

I quit.  If I have to go locate my misplaced paperback to find out what the text was supposed to be, I don't need the Kindle version in the first place.  A waste of money, and the loss of the delightful time I had hoped to spend tonight re-reading a treasured masterpiece.

Amazon, most of the last Kindle books I've read (and until now I've been a frequent buyer -- nearly 200 books in my library) have enough random errors that I have had to stop many, many times within each one to try to figure out what a particular section of the text should have been.  Frequent mistakes in creating an electronic version disrupt reading pleasure in addition to generating reader dislike of the vendor.  You need to do better if you want to continue to dominate the market.  When you perform this badly, you provide an incentive for others to invest in taking your market share by doing properly what you're making a mess of.  For shame.

I continue to love Amazon for many, many things.  Alas, though, I will now think an awfully long time before buying any Kindle book I can do without --  because as of now, I just don't trust you.  Too bad.  Hope you can turn the present quality control problems around.  Meantime, I will be seeking a credit for the purchase price of this book because of the errors in just the first few pages and will be happy to document the other two early ones to Customer Service if required.

P.S.  While the quality is this bad, Amazon, why don't you at least provide an easy way for your customers to call your attention to places that need to be fixed?  You could crowdsource this, you know!  (and customers might not be so upset with the errors if they could instead engage in a positive action to help correct them).

First let me say I have the most profound respect and admiration for Marianne Williamson. I have been following her since the early days at the Manly Palmer Hall Center in Griffith Park, California almost 30 years ago. I have all her books in print, and I have CD's and even cassettes of her earliest recordings. While I do not slavishly agree with everything she says, I do appreciate her for being the Voice and Conscience of my generation.

So it was with great dismay that I paid nearly $12 for the Kindle version of Miss Williamson's latest book and was SHOCKED at the poor way it was formatted for Kindle, and I might assume, all other ebook formats: No paragraphs, no paragraph breaks, no indentations, "widows and orphans"--just one long text that is very hard to read, which defeats the purpose of buying books for Kindle.

Shame on the publisher, HarperCollins, for either being cheap SOB's or just plain careless about the ebook format. For a measly $149 BookBaby will format any ebook PROPERLY, and give the author or editor(such as myself) the opportunity to review the format before it is published online. Obviously, HarperCollins couldn't be bothered or just didn't care. Marianne Williamson deserves better consideration than this. Fortunately, I have an autographed copy of the printed version :)

While the book is a very good read, the editing of the ebook is terrible.  There are so many spelling and word usage errors that Ms. Roberts would surely be aghast if she read her book in this form. Often, only an intuitive person can ascertain what the correct word must have been in the original manuscript.

I like the series, and I like this book. But to charge $7.99 for the eBook when the paperback costs $7.19 is ridiculous. There are no publishing or distribution costs for the eBook...so how can they possibly charge more for the electronic version? Yeah...I know, sales and discounts, but there is no reason to even charge the SAME price for phyiscal and electronic distribution, much less charge MORE for the electronic version. It's a really sad situation.

This ebook is an utter waste.
The 17 pages contain very little text. The headings are good, but the content is so thin as to be vacuous.
This is 'vapourware' at its worst.
Kindle ought to be ashamed for publishing it.

I'm interested in reading this, but I'm not going to buy it until they fix the pricing on the eBook version.  There's just no way the eBook should cost more than the mass market paperback version.

I might pick up a used paperback if i run across a cheap one but otherwise I am boycotting this until the publisher pulls their head out of their rear end.

The book is great. However, you'd be insane to pay $15.99 for an ebook version of a book that came out 15 years ago. Buy a used paperback for $0.01.

Ebook really sucks words are too small to read and you cannot zoom in to make them larger. So, it is useless as an ebook.

This is one of those lazily converted pdfs so make sure you sample before you buy. When you convert a pdf, the program can't distinguish stuff like page numbers and headings on the top of the page (like the chapter or book title) from the main body of the text. So that means when your raw converted mobi file is going to have interruptions every few paragraphs, often in mid-sentence. If the seller can't bother to clean that up you can almost be assured they aren't going to properly link end notes or include a properly formatted table of contents. Stuff like this isn't too hard to fix, and I'd be glad to pay for a properly formatted conversion. But, it looks like the swell individual who's offering this just grabbed a pdf copy from a digital library, ran a conversion, then spent more time using photoshop to design a cover than the text of the book. I can't speak for the quality of Margaret Leech's work, but the person responsible for this ebook edition doesn't deserve your money.

I purchased the collection to read "The Sentinel", and this was a wonderful short story.
But don't buy the Kindle version.
The ebook is awful considering the price. It seems just a OCR'ed text but nobody did proofreading.
It contains a lot of typos, no TOC. Even it is hard to find where a chapter starts.
(I bought it August 17, 2010, and it is possible that new one is improved.)

I've read this book and it is good but $7.99 for an ebook that's been out in paperback for 6 years?  That's a ripoff.

A very good story, marred by the absolutely TERRIBLE formatting. The preview goes through the mess of adverts and the forward without revealing the actual content of the book. I assume that this was a deliberate choice, because the book itself is a mess. Every third page is single rather than double-spaced, which causes innumerable problems with the Kindle's page-break system. Turning a page will sometimes reveal a duplicate of the previous page, skip two pages, or somewhere in between. Frequently, the only way to read a section is to experiment with tilting and flipping back and forth between pages until you achieve a configuration that will SHOW the section of text that's being skipped on a normal page-turn. This happens on EVERY PAGE TURN. I'd say that it's obvious the publisher never reviewed the quality of this book before release, but the convenient length of the preview makes me wonder if they simply didn't care. The one saving grace is that the book was only 99 cents, but then again, I've purchased DOZENS of the other short stories by this author for the same price, and never had a problem with any of them until now.

I would rate the book's contents at 4 stars, but I'm subtracting a star due to the number of errors in the Kindle edition (which was obviously never proof-read)

Much of the textreads li-ke this, which can be very confusing indeed for an authoritative book on English usage! There are also several references to page numbers, which are meaningless in the ebook edition.

For such an expensive ebook, you'd think that the publisher would at least glance at the text before putting it up for sale on Amazon.

Also, and this is more of a gripe against Amazon, but why is searching so incredibly slow? Amazon has the text on their servers, surely they don't need to rely on the meager CPU power of my tablet to search the text. It takes tens of minutes! It would be quicker to look something up by flipping through the print edition.

These books are 5 star for content, however the paperback versions, aren't so great. The writing is very small (maybe I am spoiled cause I have a kindle) and there isn't much of page margin. While holding the book, your hand is easily covering the words.

Although ebooks are a convenient way to read and even store favorites, not all books work well in this format.  TLoftR is one that needs paper to do it justice.  There are maps, illustrations, etc.  The story is great; the two star rating is for the Kindle edition.

Aside from the poor editing & proofreading (i.e., proper nouns not capitalized, missing punctuation, incorrect text placement in dialogues, etc.), the footnote function in this heavily annotated book does not allow the reader to return to the fn placed in the text after they have read the fn.  Very confusing and annoying!

Buy or borrow the book in print form to enjoy it the way it is meant to be read.

I own the hardcover and highly recommend it. I particularly like the WISDOM section. But why does the ebook cost so much? I want an electronic version to carry but it is simply too expensive. I originally took one star off for this but realized it is not the fault of the Author. But this publisher has lost the plot on ebook pricing.
