Contact the Collection Editor

This catalogue is maintained by a single independent editor. Your observations help keep the collection accurate, readable, and respectful of copyright. Below are the most useful reasons to get in touch, along with guidance on what to include so that your message can be addressed promptly.

When to write

• Metadata corrections — If a title, author name, publication date, or category placement appears incorrect. For example, a book listed under “Battles and Military History” that belongs in “A Guide to Maritime Adventures,” or a misspelled author name. Even small details like a missing subtitle or a variant spelling of an author’s name are worth reporting.
• File or reading issues — If an ebook fails to open on your device, displays garbled text, missing pages, or unreadable formatting. Please mention the file format (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, etc.) and the device or browser you are using. Screenshots or excerpts of the problem can be helpful, but are not required.
• Accessibility problems — If a file lacks proper heading structure, alt text, or reflowable text that works with screen readers. Your report helps improve the catalogue for all readers, especially those who rely on assistive technologies.
• Privacy questions — Questions about how your browsing or reading data is handled, or about the absence of tracking on this site. No personal data is collected, and no cookies are used for analytics or advertising.
• Copyright or rights concerns — If you believe a title may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a work and wish to discuss its inclusion. This catalogue focuses on public-domain texts, but legal status can vary by country. Please include any relevant publication history or registration details.
• General editorial observations — Suggestions for new categories, notes on thematic groupings, or feedback on the reading notes and companion guides (such as those for Covered with mud and glory or History of the U.S.S. Leviathan). Your perspective as a reader is valued.

What to include in your message

To help identify and resolve the issue quickly, please provide as many of the following details as possible:

• The exact page URL (the web address of the ebook or reading note).
• The full title of the work (e.g., The German Secret Service in America 1914–1918).
• The file format you are using, if the problem is with a specific download.
• The device, operating system, and browser (including version) where the issue occurs.
• A clear description of the problem — what you expected, what happened instead, and any error messages.
• If the matter involves copyright, any relevant information about the work’s publication history or your rights.

How to reach us

Please send your message to editor@imdei.com. All correspondence goes directly to James Atwood, the Collection Editor. While every report is read and considered, please understand that this is a single-editor project and responses may not be immediate. Your help in maintaining this library is greatly appreciated.

Note: If you are reporting a technical issue, you may also include the approximate time and date you encountered the problem, as this can help in diagnosing server-related or transient errors. For accessibility reports, describing the specific assistive technology (e.g., screen reader name and version) is particularly useful.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to the quality and usefulness of this catalogue. Every message helps make the library a better resource for all readers.
