Most self-published books are priced well below the $5 price I paid for this volume. I don't mind the price--a good read is worth it.On the other hand, if I do pay for a "book" then I expect to get a book. I don't expect to be charged book-price for an unfinished, uncleaned draft of a book.Spell-checking, a rather basic task, was sloppy. Mistakes like the use of "their" instead of "thet're," the appearance of "bread" instead of "bred" and other such errors are annoying and served to break the flow of the narrative. As if those weren't enough, the occasional unfinished sentence, the erratic punctuation, the appearance of the author's writing notes, places where two sentences--two separate thoughts--were run together in a confusing way, and other errors of "finishing" the writing process were a serious bar to my enjoyment of this volume.This reads like a ms that was rushed to publication before its time. It's far from being the worst example of self-publication I've ever seen but is a disappointment in an otherwise readable series.
