Is the seller an individual or a company? I can't see the information on the link.

Well he mentioned Nobby waving his red shirt as a warning, which he wouldn’t have to do if the caravans were right by the lake.
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

It appears to be a Kindle edition with at least some of the original internal illustrations (I wonder whether those were taken from the Cave too!)

If you press "Look inside" it says:
A Distributed Proofreaders Canada eBook. This ebook is made available at no cost and with very few restrictions...If either of these restrictions applies, please contact a www.fadedpage.com administrator before proceeding... This ebook was produced by: Alex White & the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at https://www.pgdpcanada.net.
(I know 1.35 Canadian dollars isn't much but it's not "no cost"!)

It's just not right to reproduce images and text from this website without prior permission. It's theft, pure and simple.

Trouble is there is no internet police for these thefts of copyright, and I would suspect there are images all over the internet of Tony's scans. The time and hard work he's put into all these scans won't even be considered. It's just pure theft.

At least as John says, I was credited with the review, which isn't as bad as what M.E. Rosson did when he blatantly stole all my stories and credited them to himself. :evil:

Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.

Smugglers top cover looks scary . The path looks unrealistic and narrow ..One slip and any of the five could go rolling down the sides
