I'm glad The Fountainhead is being taken care of. As for Early Greek
Thinking, I admire anyone who is willing to take it on. It might be
a very good book. I've had no exposure to classic Greek
philosophy. Maybe I'll read some of it when it's approved so I can
learn a little about the culture. It may blow me out of the water by
page 10, but it might also be a surprise. I might find something interesting.

There id a GOod copy of The Fountainhead in the collection. Is the one that was being worked on a replacement for it, or is that the one you had troulbe uploading.
I did have the book Early Greek Thinking, and I see it is back on the download list. There are *a lot* of Greek words in it--on every page. I asked if someone cold read Greek, and I think that Andrie said she did. I thought maybe she'd transliterate the words. I've offered to do it if someone else wants to validate the book, i.e., I've downloaded the Greek alphabet and could spell the words in English letters--but I don't even think that's necessary. I think the English meaning is next to the Greek word, and whoever validates it can just put "Greek word" in brackets where they appear.
Anyway, 4 essays on Greek philosophy are not, I'm afraid, my cup of tea, and I'm not as unselfish as E and some others to tackle a book like that. smile I am willing to get the book again, though, and help anyone out with missing or scrambled pages or the Greek words.
