A basic error early in a book is a serious turnoff for me. You referred to Jones’s father as a “British lord”, but it seems he’d been knighted and wasn’t a lord. A serious difference in terms of class distinction and errors of that ilk make me wonder how much else might have been gotten wrong.
Just a couple questions, please?
In this gonzo book, The Confidence Men, I couldn't find any explanation or pronunciation guide for the Turkish historian you quote fairly often. It seemed as if there was a numeral '1' in the middle of his name, which seems pretty strange, but it was repeated so I guess that's what you really meant, but what does it mean, why is is done, and how on earth do you say it?
Also, is there any chance of us getting the Conan Doyle book in e-book format in English?
Thanks so much . . .
