PARADISE LOST. A POEM Written in TEN BOOKS By JOHN MILTON: LONDON 1667 Most all are familiar with the 2nd version of Paradise Lost published in 1674, the very same year John Milton died. Many falsely believe the work was expanded from its original ten books of 1667, to the twelve books of his death in 1674, but in fact, it was simply chopped up into tinier pieces, divided amongst printers more greedy than I, with nothing added to the work except a few editorial changes; changes of a mysterious nature. They say it was divided into 12 to match Virgil’s Aeneid, and to complete some divine nature hogwash. I doubt not the reason of hogwash. I only doubt that it was John Milton's hogwash. He was dying sick all that year. The history is unnecessarily vague as to the matter this 2nd edition was executed, concerning John Milton's person in particular. It's not hard to see that the ones owning the rights to Paradise Lost, those persons not being John, were quite desperate to cash in on another production of his most popular book before his death, desperate enough to make a 2nd edition that deceivingly leads one on to think anything has been added, when if anything, a bit was lost. And thus in wicked vengeance did Samuel chop the the body of he whom was showed mercy into a billion pieces. Saul's great unpardonable sin? Mercy. "If only you woulda ever understood, that God desire mercy, not sacrifice." -J.C. THIS EXISTS NOWHERE ELSE---WE RESURRECTED THIS ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION FROM THE PIT OF DEATH, Milton's death in particular, Much labor was spent, page by page, to bring to life a printable version of the scanned original book, the one that made him so famous during the rest of his life; the only version he knew until his death. All that was available to the public before now, are the dark, blotched & corroded MicroFilms of the 1667 original. When we saw that not one person had restored the original, burden was quickly followed by the joy of so high an office falling on the likes of us. A service to mankind?! We are not worthy. We know Ten was Milton's number, not 12, and that his division was properly placed, absent of greedy haste. We're honored to present to the world what it has had to wait too long for, 342 pages long, nothing was added, no text retyped, all is exactly the 1667 publication, even down to its' cover 7in x 5.5in x .1in QUALITY The print is perfectly bold, crisp, & clear, unlike most facsimiles with spotted print. We've taken special care with formatting the scans of the original manuscript. As with all our books, we use quality acid free paper that'll last forever. For the binding, we use our secret glue not traditional to bookmaking. The spine is harder than any hard cover. This beauty is built like a tank, to withstand years of combat & study.…

Historical Books in the Public ArhciveProfil professionnel du vendeur

TN, Etats-Unis
We sell rare & out of print books, believe in Freedom of Book, & print what corporate publishers don't dare. Even with the great demand for much of the historic works we sell, publishers lose more money by printing what The Board has forbidden, for our protection of course.
So much for a free market. Guess the old man was right, freedom ain't free, but a choice, under no one's jurisdiction but our own. On this here River Bank we stand with leaves of health in hand & it s our prayer this Tree serve to the healing of the Nations.
QUALITY: This labour would have very little meaning to us if we didn't do our best to ensure all the books we distribute last through countless years of use. Therefore we only use paper that's acid, lignin, & sulfur free, ensuring longevity & stability; no page coloring. For the binding, we use a special glue, & a lot of it, not traditional to that of book making. The spines of our softcovers are stronger than that of hardcovers.
