Thank you for this interesting idea.
I believe that the book you mean is
FATEFUL YEARS 1909-1916 (The Reminiscences of Serge Sazonov G.C.B.,
G.C.V.O. Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs: 1914)
Is this correct?
If I can get a good copy of the original book I will reprint it.
However, I need the original book. There is a 1971 reprint out. I do
not need that.
With modern technology my reprinted books are better than the
original.
"The President's Daughter" by Nan Britton is a good example. There are
lots of copies of that book available, cheap, and in near perfect
condition because nobody ever read it.
I find out the reason: The print quality is so poor inside that it is
unpleasant to read.
I had to do a lot of work on this book. Good thing is nobody else has
ever tried to reprint this book, probably for that reason, the
original was so poorly done.
Another example: Watson on the Play of the Hand at Contract Bridge.
Originally published in 1934, reprinted and updated by Sam Fry in
1958.
My reprint just came out. My reprint is vastly better, 1000% better
than the Sam Fry book because my fonts are larger and cleaner, his are
small and fuzzy. I just got my first issues of the Watson book on
Friday. Nobody else has seen it yet so nobody else knows how good it
really is.
So, if you can help me find a good copy of the original FATEFUL YEARS
1909-1916 (The Reminiscences of Serge Sazonov G.C.B., G.C.V.O. Russian
Minister for Foreign Affairs: 1914) I will reprint it.
