This e-text is illegible due to OCR errors. I expected better from Barnes and Noble, even for free.

Bad Scan

Like so many of the free books available for the Nook, this book is very poorly scanned. Pagination and printing is off.

It is not worth the trouble, and I am deleting it.

I guess you really do get what you pay for?

Synopsis


The Gallic War, published on the eve of the civil war which led to the end of the Roman Republic, is an autobiographical account written by one of the most famous figures of European history. This new translation reflects the purity of Caesar's Latin while preserving the pace and flow of his momentous narrative of the conquest of Gaul and the first Roman invasions of Britain and Germany. Detailed notes, maps, a table of dates, and glossary make this the most useful edition available.
