DESCRIPTION:
Scanned Kindle edition of Euclid's Elements of Geometry Euclid's Elements of Geometry by H M Taylor, Kindle edition: This is a great book of historical value. The original printed version was scanned but not corrected for scanning errors. Every page is full of spelling mistakes, broken words, and mislabeled algebraic symbols. Many times one cannot even guess what the correct word is. Uniformly C in the diagram is misprinted as G in the text. For example, BAC in the diagram almost always becomes BAG in the text and there are innumerable errors like that throughout. It is so pathetic, I wonder why any responsible Kindle Editor would publish this version. Granted it is only $0.99, but d. Colin McLarty said Beautiful direct access to Euclid, with diagrams. I am reviewing the Lulu Books bilingual Greek/English edition with a new translation by Richard Fitzpatrick, Euclid's Elements of Geometry. Unfortunately the Amazon system is merging reviews of it with another book by the same title: the quite different LLC Books automated scan of an older version Euclids Elements of Geometry. LLC says right up front that they publish low cost completely unedited automated scans of old books, and their scanning process deletes diagrams and formatting such as footnotes, and misreads some text. Sometimes it garbles entire lines of print.The Fitzpatrick edition by LuluBooks is a handsome production. "Needs a Read-Through" according to S.. This edition of the book was not really readable. As of my download a few weeks ago, it was clearly machine-transcribed, and no one had read through it to make sure it made sense. Words are broken up incorrectly, and letters are replaced by random symbols.Save your time and try another version.
