First of all, I wish to thank you for your effort in typing--word by word--all of the content in El Engaño: Estafa de Amor, by Caridad Bravo Adams. Also, I believe that I speak for the other readers when I say that there are not enough words to express my appreciation for your decision of sharing this hard-to-find novel with other La Mentira fans, whose dream of reading the original book has been let down by the absence of enough reprinted copies for their personal enjoyment.
Now, the reason that has made me write to you this message is that although I have read most of your fragments available (I am in chapter 21 right now), and it seems that there is no missing chapter or section from the posts, I was wondering if the original story posted in this forum is in its entirety. Last night, I read one message in which you replied to someone that the book has over a hundred pages and, according to what I understood, your online version does not count with the complete story, that there are missing pages.
Therefore, I implore you to clarify such doubts. Does the book online version you offer in Network 54.com contains the whole story or just most of it? Do you have an original book (or a newer edition) from which you took the text or did you type the novel from loose papers? If you have the book, can you please provide the appropriate bibliographic information, such as the complete title, the publishing house name, the publishing city name, and the year?
You see, I believe that it would be great for me to print your posts, retype the whole text in a new Spanish-edited Word version, and have it covered for my personal enjoyment, and would like the title page to contain information about the book's publication, even though it will not be a hard copy.
Your cooperation and prompt reply will be tremendously appreciated. Oh, and keep the good work!
Sincerely,
Selenne A. Mayoral Cruz
