7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Free on Google- originally published in 1917By AOSThis looked like an interesting title. so I clicked on "look inside" and read the first few paragraphs. Immediately I thought. wait this looks familiar! After a quick Google search. I realized why. I already downloaded this book for FREE from Google books.DONT spend $10 on the Kindle version! Download it as a free pdf. then read it on your tablet. pc. ipad. or. even better YOUR KINDLE.This Kindle version doesnt even contain all of the sections of the original (which was published in 1917). I think it is very misleading for to be selling this with a recent publication date. and no mention of the original date. This should be in the Free Kindle Books section. since it is widely available not just on Google. but also on archive.org and other similar sites.The book itself is excellent. and I would highly recommend it. but I think it is shameful that is charging so much money for it. and is not being truthful about its publication history.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
