AUTHOR NOTES ON MANUSCRIPT:

  • The DEMO version of this book is a ‘Work-in-Progress’:

Please note that the manuscript used to create this Streaming-Book format still remains —even after four years of writing, editing,  and rewriting—a work in progress, and the content is subject to frequent additions, deletions, changes, and enhancements. So don’t be surprised if you see something new or different each time you open a new reading session or refresh your browser.

  • Dynamic-Streaming-Book Updates: Changes and updates are a “feature” and not a “fix,” as streaming-books, unlike static print and old-fashioned eBooks, are designed to be dynamic and regularly updated like software apps, so they are kept more interesting, educational, error-free, and are always up to date!
  • Change & Versioning System: Please note the version number of the current version of the Streaming-Book, notated in the page header and on the Title Page shown as: “Vx.x.x” or “V1.72” as an example. Each time the book is changed significantly, a new incremental version number is assigned. So, if you see content added or removed, page numbers that have changed, or anything else that different from the last time you opened the book or refreshed your browser, remember to notice the version number.
  • Submitting Errors, Suggestions, Changes, Duplications, Deletions, etc.: If you find misspellings, inaccuracies, or other problems with the book, please let the author know through the following email address: Feedback@Flags-of-Freedom.com
