How to Reach Us
We welcome editorial correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. The quickest way to share observations or concerns is by writing to our fiction editor, Ernest Tolkien, at editor@asamb.com. This address is monitored regularly, though we cannot guarantee an immediate reply.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — if you notice an incorrect title, author attribution, publication date, or category placement (for example, a book listed under “Medieval Stories” that belongs in “Modern History Fiction”).
- File or reading issues — if an ebook fails to open, displays garbled text, or is unreadable on your device or browser.
- Accessibility problems — if the file lacks proper headings, alt text, or other features that make it usable with assistive technology.
- Privacy questions — if you have concerns about how your data is handled when you browse or download from the catalogue.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you are a rights holder with a legitimate claim.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for new categories, additional context for a title, or corrections to the reading notes accompanying works such as The Viper of Milan: A Romance of Lombardy or The Fair God; or, The Last of the 'Tzins: A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico.
What to Include
To help us address your report efficiently, please include the following details where applicable:
- The exact page URL where the issue appears.
- The full title of the ebook (e.g., Valperga Volume 1 (of 3) or, The life and adventures of Castruccio, prince of Lucca).
- The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, Kindle, etc.).
- The device, browser, or reading software you are using.
- A clear description of the problem: what you expected, what occurred, and any error messages.
- If the issue involves copyright, please include any supporting information about the work’s rights status in your country.
Our Editorial Approach
Ernest Tolkien reviews each message personally. He examines source editions, catalogue metadata, and thematic relevance before making changes. While we strive for accuracy, the catalogue draws on diverse public-domain sources, and occasional errors may persist. Your reports help us improve the collection for all readers.
Additional Guidance
If you are unsure whether a particular observation warrants a message, we encourage you to write anyway. Even small notes—such as a typo in a reading note or a broken internal link—are valuable. For complex queries, such as rights status across multiple jurisdictions, please provide as much context as you can; this helps us research the matter thoroughly before responding.
We also appreciate feedback on the structure of the catalogue itself. If you find that a category like “War Society” could be better described, or if you have suggestions for new thematic groupings, your input is welcome. Similarly, if you have encountered a work that seems to fit our collection but is not yet listed, a brief description and source reference can help us consider it for inclusion.
Please note that we cannot provide legal advice or definitive rights determinations. Our responses to copyright inquiries will reflect our own assessment based on available information, and we may direct you to relevant resources for further investigation.
Thank you for helping us maintain a trustworthy and accessible digital library.
