You gotta stop pushing those Leonaur books. They're expensive, they're poorly edited AND…most important…they're available for FREE from Google Books and Archive.org as .pdf downloads (and other formats). I know you're not getting a cut from Leonaur, so please stop foisting these books off on others. Andrew |

I hear ya, Andrew. I converted the Semenoff books to Epub myself (with my own covers) and am reading them on Ipad now. |

I only posted them as info about the matters they comment. Don't know if they are good/cheap/expensive/trash… etc. I don't get a cut from nobody my friend. Think it was a good idea, but if it wasn't no problem to not to post them again. Amicalement

The OP has completely defeated my ignore and stifle choices. Aargh. :) |

Tango, I know you're only doing what you think is right to spread information and I KNOW your are NOT taking a cut, just that 95% of Leonaur's books are just re-titled reprints that are avail free, elsewhere. I just don't want unsuspecting people to plunk good money down for absolutely no reason. Andrew |

Thanks for that my friend. Amicalement

Is it just me? I can get these "books" on my PC screen, where I will never ever read them, or I can get them in my hand, as a real paper book, to flick through as I choose, for about 15 quid a time. This may be a generational thing. I want a book on my shelf. Something I can hold in my hand and treasure. These are hardly expensive by that standard, I think. You are paying for the paper version…up to you entirely, but well worth mentioning. (Grin) |

I have always had a fair number of books on my bookshelves and more recently I've run out of shelf space. I am actively considering moving a few books on but will probably buy a few more anyway, just more selectively. I now have a Kindle Fire with hundreds of books on it, some I may never read as I expect that I will pass on before being able to do so. I've never managed to 'read a book on my PC screen' as the Kindle still gives you that book in hand feel. I still buy real books, just not so many! |

"I know you're only doing what you think is right to spread information…." It's more than that, but that's been discussed to death. |

I agree with Andrew absolutly and for those who cannot read a book on screen, you may have the radical option to print out the PDF |

But we have not really addressed the title. I value Tango, I appreciate him, I even accept that he is human and not a computer programme, a search engine. But my emotional feeling for him does not run to true love…………..not yet anyway |

I only need you acepted me a fine dinner… then let's see (smile) Amicalement

Sometimes there is a fine line between information and propaganda. |
