    I am writing this complaint regarding extremely numerous spelling, grammar, and typographical errors present in the 2022 Seven Stories Press edition of Count Belisarius. I did not purchase this book directly from Seven Stories Press; I bought it second hand. I have contacted Seven Stories Press twice regarding the lack of editing in this release and received no reply. Examples of errors (a non exhaustive list):Pg. 3 ex, "... he should never tum is head..." instead of ********* 4 ex, "Whether or not he w true to the oath..." W instead of ********* 7 ex, "... and thus making the Cyclops drunk, thrust out his one eye with the Barning point." Barning instead of burning. Barning unnecessarily **************** 14 ex, "...brandishing the red hot spit which Belisarius. had put to heat in the hearth." One of many times there is punctuation randomly inserted into ************** 15 ex, "... The prophet Balaam was not greatly astonished when his as suddenly spoke in God's name." As instead of ***.Page 15 ex, "I was with the remounts in the Persian wan..." Wan instead of ******** 22 ex, "The affair ended more xore..." Random use of Greek . Also an x thrown in ********** 23 ex, "It was there *****..." this error occurs twice on this ********* 25 ex, "convinced Christian a d somewhat scandalized..." and missing an "n."Page 26 ex, "water dock, of which he is so proud and which keeps such poOI; time," dock instead of clock, poOI instead of poor. Random ; ************* 35 ex, "(This was the other Thracian, a land owner}" Brackets don't match. Happens more than ********* 43 ex, "the stone by which the tome was dosed..." dosed instead of *********** 43 ex, "a great number oi: rich...''Page 43 ex, "New Years Da'y..."Page 43 ex, "walls, floor, and roo..." That is a pound Sterling in place of an 'f'. This far from all the errors in this book, which is still for sale. I'd like to see this pulled from publication until it meets editing standards.

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
