How to Reach the Editorial Office
We welcome correspondence from readers who have taken the time to explore the catalogue and wish to share an observation, raise a concern, or ask a question that falls within the scope of our work. Because we are a small independent operation, we rely on thoughtful, well-documented reports to keep the collection accurate and usable.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us if you encounter any of the following:
- Incorrect title or author metadata — a book listed under the wrong name, a misspelled contributor, or a missing subtitle. For example, if a work like A text-book of veterinary anatomy is attributed incorrectly, we want to know.
- Category placement that seems off — a work that appears in a category where it does not belong, or that is missing from a category where it would be useful. A title on osteopathy might be better placed under a different heading.
- Unreadable or corrupted files — a download that will not open, contains garbled text, or is missing pages. This includes issues with any format we offer.
- Reader failures — a file that displays incorrectly on a particular device, browser, or reading application. Compatibility across platforms is important to us.
- Accessibility problems — issues with screen-reader compatibility, missing alt text for illustrations, or poor contrast in formatting. We strive to make texts usable for all readers.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how we handle personal data, if any is collected, or about the use of analytics or cookies where enabled.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title in the catalogue may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a work and wish to discuss its status. This is especially relevant for texts like Euthanasia or Secret remedies that may have complex copyright histories.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for new titles, corrections to reading notes, or other thoughtful feedback that might improve the archive. For instance, if our reading companion for Diseases of cattle, sheep, goats and swine contains an error, we appreciate the note.
What to Include in Your Message
To help us address your report efficiently, please include as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The exact page URL where you noticed the issue.
- The full ebook title as it appears on the site.
- The file format you were using (EPUB, PDF, HTML, etc.).
- The device, browser, or reading application you were using.
- A clear description of the observed problem.
- Any supporting information about rights or permissions, if your message concerns copyright.
For example, if you find that The practice of osteopathy is missing illustrations in the PDF version on a particular e-reader, telling us the model helps us replicate and fix the issue.
