"A Certain Arrogance" -- George Michael Evica's Last Book to be Updated, Published Soon
#27
Good point on the footnotes, Bill.

After multiple conversations among the Trine Day team (publisher and editor) and representatives of the Evica estate (me and, by extension, Alycia Evica), the decision was reached to edit ACA into a version more accessible to a "general" readership.

This wasn't an easy call. At first I was strongly opposed on the grounds that the work must be represented as its author intended. Yet the arguments in favor of appealing to a larger audience resonated -- especially when viewed in light of the disparity between the value to history, truth, and justice of George Michael's research and the number of people who to date have been able to benefit from his labors.

Another factor was the poor production values of the Xlibris editions: missing and out-of-order pages, horrendous typesetting (the savagery that was done to a great deal of George Michael's literary structures and to my own humble Introduction cannot be overstated), failing bindings.

Yet the footnotes in the Xlibris originals are priceless.

And so the following compromise was reached: The vast majority of footnotes that were not simple text references would remain; a note referring readers to Xlibris editions for complete footnotes would be added.

All of this was my call. Such authority was vested in me by Alycia Evica. I bear full responsibility for all related failures of judgment.

To the most diligent among us, I STRONGLY recommend that you utilize both the Xlibris AND the Trine Day editions.

Thanks again, Bill. We eagerly anticipate your review.

Charles
