About this eBook

I created this custom eBook from a very poorly formatted rich-text file.  I did not have a hard-copy of the original book to provide a “master” or guide as I re-formatted and cleaned-up the rich-text file.

The source file contained an enormous amount of spelling and punctuation errors, unlabeled main and sub-chapters; and even missing words. As a result of not having an original copy, and because this .rtf was so poorly created, I had to make a small amount of interpretations of the text of the original book.

I would like to assure you that those interpretations were kept to a bare minimum.  Mostly, I had to interpret where the author used a “-“ and/or “...” at the end of speech, line breaks and/or paragraph ends.  I also had to determine where two sub-chapters began in two main chapters.

In the end, my version of Edward Lee’s “The Messenger” is by far more readable than the original rich-text file. I hope you find it an improved version as well.

In the end, I sincerely hope you have an enjoyable reading experience of this outstanding novel.
