I’ve been asked why there’s no digital edition of The Heart of the Home. There are two reasons.
One is that it’s heavily formatted, with hundreds of photos and illustrations embedded in the text, and that doesn’t convert well to “reflowable” e-books – the sort, like Kindle, that re-shape themselves to different screens and orientations. It does convert to PDF, but PDFs aren’t easy to read on pretty much anything.
The other is that a physical book is harder to pirate. A book about kitchens that leans technical has a limited potential readership, and I’d rather that readership buy the thing.
If you buy it, drop a review on Amazon. It helps it get noticed.
