This is the first book of Terry pratchett's I every read. Too overwritten, so much so, I lost the main sense of the story. It seems as he was writing for himself in a very self-congratulating manner: "Wow, Look how very clever this sentence is!" so much that it became tedious 2/3 of the way through. Terry Pratchett is far too clever for himself, and there is too much nonsense in his writing. The witches move the kingdom into the future in order for the rightful heir to return & claim his kingdom. The Fool falls in love w/ one of the 3 witches and then is sent to find the heir. The land, flora, & fauna of the kingdom is so unhappy they all end up in front of the Main witch's house wanting her to "fix" the problem. The new king has visions of blood on his hands that can not be washed away. The royal heir has disappeared as has the crown. Cousin hates the kingdom & the life of the kingdom hates him. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.Why how clever an overly wordy, clever, twisted, and self-amusing novel based on Hamlet.Ī King is dead by the hand of his cousin & cousin's wife. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
