Paperback Reprint by Resurrected Press
596226
This review is for the paperback reprint of "The Mystery At The Rectory" (author A.E. Fielding) by "Resurrected Press". This is my third review of reprints by Resurrected Press of the A.E. Fielding books.  The mystery is another good A. E. Fielding mystery, with Chief Inspector Pointer as an excellent character, BUT the editing of this edition, although not quite as bad as editing of "The Wedding Chest Mystery", is certainly less than acceptable.  Again, it appears that the original hardbound book was scanned, but the publisher's OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software is not of high quality AND there has been no assurance via editing to assure that the book is the same as the original work. There are many words that make no sense in the sentences in which they are used, sentences are run together with no punctuation, and periods in the middle of sentences with new sentences beginning which should be a part of a different sentence. There are misspelled words which could have been caught by a simple "spell-check", and words that are incorrect with respect to the original work.  There are double words (e.g. will will), words that are split and should not be split, words that are run-together, and extra lines where one would expect a "different scene", but where there is continuity from the prior paragraph.  If you can get through the bad editing, the mystery is a good mystery.
  The only downside I have noticed after reading four of the Fielding mysteries is that these mysteries do not find a vile person to be murdered, but a person that the reader would like. Normally, this era of mystery writers kills-off the "bad guy", but Fielding doesn't seem to discriminate.
  After reading one original hardbound mystery (old hardbound book) by A. E. Fielding, and finding the mystery to be an excellent mystery and excellently written, I bought 11 of these reprints from Amazon because I could not find the originals. This is the third of the 11 which I have read and I will continue to review the remaining reprints when I have finished reading them.  It is truly a bad reflection on the publishing industry when a publisher does not care about correct scanning of the old classical books. I, personally, will never buy another book that has been published by this publisher.

The vinyl edition contains reprints of the jackets and inserts. It is great to have new copies of my well worn originals.

This book is going to be reissued by Rutgers University Press in paperback in May 2018. I don't know if it will be available on Amazon or if you will have to buy it from the publisher directly. Regardless, I intend to buy it. I have been able to read portions of it before, but it would be great to read the  entire book in good condition. It is entertaining and also good history.

I would really like to buy this book in a digital format that I can actually READ,  A.k.a. not just a PDF.  Has the publisher reformatted the book yet? I don't see a way to ask questions,  The only option was to write a review

I have the 1965 Bantam paperback and now I have a wonderful pulp reprint. Book was in exceptional condition; I always try to buy very good to new condition books. Service was great and I plan on searching out more reprints. Great job! Thank you.

Some time ago, a friend shared with me a copy of Dr. Joseph Murphy's "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind", Revised and Expanded Edition, which I found insightful, and wanted to purchase to keep around.  I buy my books primarily through Amazon, and prefer hardcover editions, which tend to last longer.  So, when I found the edition I am reviewing, ISBN 956-291-368-6, I was thrilled and ordered it immediately.  Imagine my unpleasant surprise when I received the book and found that its text was substantially different from the original I've read, not to say that the layout of the text represented a true "hack job" - no space between the paragraphs, no italics or different fonts used in Dr. Murphy's original, and so important for laying out and emphasizing his ideas.  It turned out that although the book I purchased was listed on Amazon as a "Revised Edition", it represented some strange creation by a little-known publishing house "BN Publishing", which copyrighted the text in 2006.  Now, the original book by Dr. Murphy was copyrighted first in 1963, with further copyrights following in 1988 and 1997.  May be for some reason the copyright collapsed and vultures moved in? Who knows!  At any rate, for those who are interested in Dr. Murphy's real text, the book to get is either ISBN 978-0-7352-0168-2 or ISBN 978-0-7352-0431-7, the latter inscribed on the front page as "The only edition authorized by Dr. Joseph Murphy Trust". As for the hardcover edition I bought - I am returning it.  And Amazon should be ashamed of carrying this product, which, in my humble opinion, represents an infringement on Dr. Murphy's copyright.

The book itself the great. But the hardcover edition is printed on toilet paper. DO NOT by hardcover.

This item was listed as a hard cover version but a mass market paperback was delivered. While the paper back was in good condition I paid more for the item than necessary since I expected to receive a hardback. That said Brad Thor's books are excellent!

"The Collected Works of St. John" (Hardcover edition) is still available from the publisher, ICS publications, NEW for $31.95.  ICS is "the publishing house of the institute of Carmelite Studies, and a not-for-profit ministry of the Washington Province of Discalced Carmelite Friars, a Roman Catholic religious community to which the members of the Institute belong. We specialize in works on the history and spirituality of Carmel, sharing the riches of the Carmelite tradition with English-language audiences.  We are best known for our translations of Carmelite classics." (quotation taken from ICS publications website).  This comment, then, is intended for those buyers who are in the market for a hardcover edition of the collected works from St. John of the Cross... and who are finding that market to be limited.  Amazon may be out of stock, other sellers may be charging exorbitant amounts, but if you go to the publisher direct, you will find that the book is still available, brand new, for a reasonable price.

P.S. It is hoped, too, that this bit of information about the hardcover book being available NEW from the publisher for $31.95 might bring the inflated prices for which the book is currently selling for in the 'other sellers' market--and here i refer to 'New' condition books--back down to a reasonable amount.  Likewise, no used book at condition 'like new' or 'very good' should be priced above that same ceiling of $31.95.

This is purely a comment on the edition by BiblioLife, ISBN 978-1110338429, and not on any other edition of this book that may appear, and concerns only the physical production of the book. You never know what you are going to get with one of these reproductions of old booksI have had some that are virtually unreadableso I am posting this just to let possible buyers know that this particular edition has clear black type properly centered on plain white pages, a good solid binding, and nice-looking hard covers.

Purchased V2 and love it so far.  The publisher needs to add the contents of these compilations in the description.  Kessinger makes some great reprints and the hardcover was really nice quality.

Contents:

Reincarnation and the Law of Karma; New Psychology Its Message, Principles and Practice; Telepathy: Its Theory, Facts, and Proof; and Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life.

I kind of like this version in paperback, as at 646 pages long even the paperback is heavy, the hardcover is a beast! This is a special version published in November 2011 to commemorate the 5th year of the original. A very important book for those of us from this kind of family. Take it to heart.

This is a nice hardcopy facsimile reproduction of a 1913 book for $26.  There is another reproduction available in paperback that costs $10 more.  This hardback is nicely done.  It is a reproduction, so there are a few stray marks and library markings, but very minimal.  From the crescent markings at the bottom of the pages, I think the original might have had thumb dents so you can quickly turn to the section you need.  Dictionaries often have these on the side of the book, but I've occasionally seen them at the bottom of the book.  Obviously this reproduction doesn't have the actually thumb dents, but just a black crescent shaped mark at the bottom of the pages.

Very few of the photos are unreadable, but I have a feeling they were probably very iffy photos in the original book, too.  These are photos of fabric in black and white where the warp and weft have very little differentiation in color or texture, so the photo ends up looking like a dark grey square.  Many other photos are better.  The diagrams are very clear.

This book was written for the weaving industry, and dobby and jacquard looms.  However experienced hand weavers can glean lots of information from this book.  I was particularly interested in the chapter on gauze and leno, but I'm sure the other chapters will grab my attention later.  In Mary Atwater's revised edition of "The American Book of Handweaving" she mentions Watson's book in her chapter on Leno.

I was so delighted with this book, that I searched out its predecessor and ordered it, too.

I just noticed that the price on this book has jumped up and the price on the paperback has gone down.  Search other vendors and then come back here and see if the price goes back down.

Just looking closer at this copy and I realized that is is missing the first 32 pages! No cover page or print date starts on page If I had a Hammer page 33. A very rare copy indead! I will have to look at my other copies ... but this addition does have the companion Data Disk Where Have all the Flowers Gone: A Singalong Memoir copyright 2009. Still a Keeper! Thanks! RAW

This review is for the 2001 Arrow Publication of the book  Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah  by Bach, Richard.  The print is TOO SMALL in this 2001 Publication of this book.

 The book more square (5 x 6.5)  verses the original and more standard size book of 4" x 7".  A capital letter is only 2 mm  high which allows 13 lines per 2" of print.  The 1977 publication has capital letters  3 mm  high and 10 lines per 2" of print.  Amazon carries the 1977 Publication as  " Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah (Edition unknown) by Bach, Richard [MassMarket(1989] Mass Market Paperback  1600"  The cover is slightly different.  It has a more turquoise feather with stars in the foreground.

I have looked both books over and the is no other difference between the two publications besides what is mentioned above.  Loved the Book!
