Go there and get them for free.  They'll be separate files for each book, but at least you don't have to try to navigate through 35 or 40 different books crammed together into one file with no table of contents.

I downloaded the sample to read before buying this book, and found two 'typos' in the first two pages. Why should Amazon recieve $7.99 for a book that they have zero investment in, and nobody to pay royalties to? To issue these shoddy digital editions is terribly disrespectful to the author's memory.

This should be removed for copyright infringement and inaccurate information. I'd give zero stars if it were an option.

Now, how about Amazon removing this non-book from your collection?  You are joined at the hip with this scam artist.  It should not be in the book section, it should be in a section for political jokes and be clearly marked that it contains nothing.  In a sense, it is little more than a poorly constructed notepad.  If the wrong person downloads this non-book and decides to print it out before reading, they will be left with 100 pages numbered 1-100 and worthless to return to the printer.  Times how many deceived people have purchased this hoax from Amazon??????  You may want to check with legal on this one.  That's a lot of rebated paper.  And for what, so some a-hole can make a juvenile point?  If Luapnor Vuli had a brain in his head, he would have put his thoughts to paper and delivered an actual book compiled with actual words about why or why not Herman Cain makes sense.  But I guess when the vacuous space between your ears is empty, a blank page was all he could handle.

The content of the book had it's highs and lows. Some projects were so simple they were boring and others were interesting to try new techniques. But don't dare use the patterns provided by this author. I created one of the projects from the book and downloaded the pattern from Amy Karol's website [...] . The resolution on the PDF pattern was so poor that I had to redraw everything in Photoshop. I then began having fun drawing and adapting the project to my own creativity. The biggest reason why you buy a book; right.? I then decided to offer the product that I made with my own two hands on my website to sell. I offered a variety of different designs. Well the author, Amy Karol, contacted me and said that I was in copyright violation for using her pattern. My product was too similar to her project. I NEVER offered to sell her pattern; I was just creating products from the base idea of her project. Why would you write a book, offer a pattern, and then contact your fans who create projects from your book and make them remove from their shop. Bogus! I WON'T BE PURCHASING ANY MORE BOOKS FROM THIS AUTHOR.

The book's formatting appears to have been crudely done through the use of MS Word.  It's abundantly apparent that this text is no more than a copy and paste from internet sources with no actual authentication at any level being conducted.  Now, with that harsh sentence, may I add another: yes, it appears Forgotten Books did indeed find several editions of the The Key of Solomon the King through various online sources.  These pdf and text documents were likely cross-examined and compared with one another.  However, just by reading this work, it is obvious it does not come from King Solomon or was it placed under the scrutiny that I would expect when purchasing a book entitled, "The Key of Solomon the King".

The text is horribly inconsistent, shoddy, and unlike the other translated works of MacGregor Mathers.  Please DO check out other books about the work and even the practices of King Solomon.  I am sure you will find them horribly informative and interesting.  I even recommend "Abramelin the Mage" if you want a very decent perspective into those particular workings.  But please, DO NOT encourage these sorts of pedantic plagiarism as have been evidenced by Forgotten Books' printing of the Key of Solomon the King.  WHOMEVER they stole their source material from, they should properly source vice claiming origin.

I paid over $50 for this book in September 2012. It was delivered May 7, 2013.  I anticipated the delivery eagerly.  I could not be more disappointed.

The vast majority of the book is a series of Appendices which are nothing more than Xeroxed boilerplate from the public domain.  Chapter 18 is nothing but a list, mainly of websites and RSS feeds.

This book is totally worthless and is a gross breach of the Warranty of Merchantability.  I cannot send it back fast enough.

Unfortunately I can't give this book a zero rating!  How can a book with a LEGO title contain advertisments for MegaBlox?  I didn't buy this book to read kindergarden jokes and be told how to store my LEGO bricks in Plano tackle boxes!  I feel sorry for the trees that gave their life for the pages of this disapointment.  Where are the so-called hacks?  I'm sorry but I honestly can't find any redeeming quality to this book.

My News Resolution is to never pay this amount for a digital copy...greedy publishers and authors. Be ashamed in an economy where people want to read, but can' t afford these over the top prices.  Especially if the book is not your cup tea.  Publishers and authors We get it.  do you teach your kids that you fleece people for digital copies. Seriously

What a rip off!  $1 a book for less than 50 pages, why not add it all together and charge $3.  of course each one is a continuation so as you just get into the story, it ends and then you have to go get the next "chapter" for another $1.  This is a series that will $1 you to death.

Why are authors so lazy and in a hurry to make money off the readers.  This is an example how the author is going to lose money.  I snagged the first one as a KU, she will get a couple pennies but thats what she deserves for this kind of book.  The publishers shouldn't push this.  And lets not forget the EDITING errors, again trying to make money off a sloppy book.  Even as a KU it takes more time to download than it does to read the books.

I absolutely LOVE the story of Etidorhpa. Sad to say, this particular presentation of said story was AWFUL! First off, no images. That was a big negative right off the bat. Then, the OCR was TERRIBLE! I was doing OCR with beta-level software 20 years ago that did a better job than this! Whoever perpetrated this mess should be ashamed of themselves. A true tragedy for such a wonderful story to be butchered in this fashion. Makes me want to OCR my old "Health Research" copy -- INCLUDING scanning the images! -- and sell my OWN copy, so people can have a chance to enjoy this masterpiece! Try as I might, there are simply no words to convey how disappointed I am with this debacle. It was intended as a gift for a friend (since there's no way I'm parting with my old "Health Research" copy! <g>), but It's only appropriate use is in someone's outhouse. Maybe I'll donate it to the nearest rustic campground.

Is 'Bozo' aware of this trash being peddled on Amazon ?

Like the previous ebook in this trilogy, this "book" is riddled with stupid typos. Why? Because the publisher "Open Road Media Sci-Fi & Fantasy" is too much of a ferkakte schlock merchant to pay some college English major $100 to proofread it. Since the marginal cost is zero, "Open Road Media Sci-Fi & Fantasy" is obviously a cheapskate fast buck artist.

"Now, I am only just beginning to read this book and it's very frustrating, "Forgotten Books' Classic Repint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original format of each page whilst digitally enhancing the quality of the aged text."

is the claim, the reality is that this volume is made up of poorly scanned pages at larger than 100% size in effect to read this book is to struggle with tenuous 18 point text with holes in it printed not even in black more like a grey. It's a trial and an error and a drag and a sham a scam in short a rip off. But where else can I find an English langage version of Goncourt's "La Faustin" which was such an important book to Wilde and I think maybe to Huysmans as well.

Booo! I'll definitely do without the next time I can only find a [...] edition of some rare writing I hoped to peruse!

I now have read a couple of these Kindle Literature Summaries, this one takes the cake for being a total ripoff of the original. In no way does it even come close to depict what the original book is all about, with its 300 pages of witty prose, photos and illustrations. I think Philip Miller, the now deceased author, would be outraged if he could see what his book has been downgraded to. This is a total waste of your money! If you really are interested just buy the original book.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Screw-the-Roses-Send-Me-the-Thorns-The-Romance-and-Sexual-Sorcery-of-Sadomasochism/dp/0964596008/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism</a>

The formatting is wretched--all the paragraphs run together, without any indenting or spacing between. When I contacted the publisher, they gave me a URL where I could read a PDF version of the story online--not download, mind you, but only read while online.

Considering that this is only a novella, the price was pretty exorbitant. When you add to this the fact that it's not even formatted (and is thus virtually unreadable), it is theft. I'll never buy anything from Rosetta again.

Last I Checked, this was 3 books for $30 a month. Now, obviously the author and reader have to feed their families too. But let's remove paper, ink, the electricity used in printing, binding, the cost of the cover, the cost of shipping the book to the amazon plant, time consumed for amazon employee to get the book of shelf. Now, please, someone explain tome how most audible books are MORE expensive than a hardcover? Cruel, greedy people taking advantage of a niche market of elderly people with poor eyesight. I'd love to see audible hacked and every book they greedily hold for an extortionate ransom released into public domain. The really need the money from my from 95 hear old grandfathers SS check that badly, given that he can't see and this is his only form of entertainment?  Bezos first trip on his rocket should...just greedy, greedy people with no human decency.
