Hmm. Maybe it was Carrie. I wonder if it was on the
Times Best Sellers List.

O.K. I've got requests in. A lot of copies have
been
ordered or are in process, so it shouldn't take
too
long. What library system do you have that has the
book already, or did you buy it? Just curious.

Hi Cindy,
If you would get the book that would be great.
Thanks for the generosity.

Usually, at least in books I've validated, e.g.,
The
Complete Verse of Rudyard Kipling and helping
Lissi
with some footnotes in the Tolkien, those words
in
the
text have asterisks or footnote numbers, and the
explanations are at the bottom of the page. It
seems
as if that's the situation here, so, as Shelley
said,
put two or three line spaces between the last
line
of
the text and the definitions, and put each of
the
definitions on a separate line. You can put them
in a
smaller font, too, if you want, because they're
probably in a smaller font in the print book.
The problem is that the asterisk or footnote
number or
whatever probably didn't scan. I've found that
to
be
the case in books I've validated--the footnote
numbers
are so small that often they don't scan. If you
can
and are willing, you can put them in yourself.
Or
I
think--was someone going to get the book to help
you?
I can, if you want, but I thought someone else
was
going to.

Hello there,
I have another question about this book. At the
end
of page 45 there are
some definitions for words as you will see from
the
insertion I am
including. I wonder how would it be best to
separate
the definitions
from the actual text because it could become
confusing when trying to
read. I had to read it twice to figure out what
was
up. Here is the page
which has the definitions:
Pachacuti began rapidly to conquer the amalgam
of
tribes, kingdoms, and
city-states that lay strewn across the Andes.
Pachacuti's bold forays
and those of his son, Tupac Inca, eventually
culminated in the toppling
of the old Chimu Empire, located on the
northwestern
coast. Within a
single lifetime, then, Pachacuti and his son
had
seized a 1,400-mile
stretch of the Andes, from present-day Bolivia
to
northern Peru, plus
much of the adjacent coast. No longer were the
Incas
a small, pregnable
group exposed to the vagaries of other
kingdoms'
marauding armies.
Pachacuti had become the first Inca king to
fashion
a veritable empire�a
vast, multiethnic conglomeration that had been
created through conquest
and that Pachacuti now ruled over with a tiny
band
of Inca elite.
Pachacuti called his new empire Tawantinsuyu,
or
"the four parts
united," as he divided it into four regions:
Chinchaysuyu, Cuntisuyu,
Collasuyu, and Antisuyu. The capital, Cuzco,
lay
at
the intersection
where all four suyus came together. In a sense,
Pachacuti and Tupac Inca
had created a conquest enterprise. Through
threat,
negotiation, or
actual bloody conquest, they subjugated new
provinces, determined the
number of tax-paying peasants, installed a
local
Inca governor, and then
left an administration in place that was
empowered
to supervise and
collect taxes before their armies moved on. If
cooperative, the local
elites were allowed to retain their privileged
positions and were
rewarded handsomely for their collaboration. If
uncooperative, the Incas
exterminated them and wiped out their
supporters.
Peasants were a crop,
a crop that could be harvested through periodic
taxation. Docile,
obedient workers who created surpluses, in
fact,
were a crop more
valuable than any of the five thousand
varieties
of
potatoes the Incas
cultivated in the Andes, more valuable even
than
the
vast herds of
llamas and alpacas that the Incas periodically
used
for their meat and
wool. It was the peasants and their associated
lands
that the Incas
coveted, and it was by taxing the peasants'
labor
that the Inca elite
continued to increase their wealth, prestige,
and
power.
Tupac Inca, who had carried out successful
campaigns
in the north and on
the coast, also succeeded in extending the Inca
Empire farther east,
marching from the high frigid plains of the
Andes
down into the sweltering
Tttwantin in the Inca language, Quechua, means
a
group of four things
(tawa means four with the suffix -ruin, which
names
a group; and suyu,
which means "part").
