IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying!
THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT. IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL COPY.
This book is a reprint edition and is a perfect facsimile of the original book. It is not set in a modern typeface and has not been digitally enhanced. As a result, some characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections, blurring, or minor shadows in the page background. This book appears exactly as it did when it was first printed.
At 'Black Books' we do not use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to transcribe books from scanned images or other forms of text - this usually results in everything from strange characters to gibberish. We believe that reading an old book, exactly as it was, is the most satisfying way to read it.
