A Middy of the Slave Squadron
A West African Story
By Harry Collingwood
________________________________________________________________________
This was one of the last books written by "Harry Collingwood". The copy
we worked from was very clearly printed, but with one very major
problem - the text was printed far too close to the centre of the book.
Therefore the book could not be scanned using the regular book-scanner,
but rather it was done using the scanner in flat-bed mode. However, the
results were quite good, with the text coming through very clearly, and
only the hyphens needing a good amount of checking. The hyphens get
affected by the cleaning-up process which takes out the unwanted dark
patches on the scans.
The book is exactly according to the title. Remembering that "Harry
Collingwood" was in real life a naval architect, you can take good note
of the way he handles nautical terminology. Other contemporary authors
were good, but in this respect Collingwood is a real master.
It makes a good audiobook, so you ought to enjoy it very greatly. NH.
