Dear Lissi,
Since the book apparently is intended for a certain
age group, perhaps teenage or pre-teen, I would not
rate it as adult but would put what you said here
about the language in the long synopsis. Some parents
might object to their kids reading such words but, as
you say, kids today probably hear them and wouldn't be
upset. Anyway, it's for the parent to judge, I think,
and they should have the knwoldege.
As to the location of page numbers, is the book you
hve the same edition as the one that was submitted?
And does the file have hard breaks? I leave the page
numbers in the file where they are, only some books
that were txt don't have hard breaks anyway and it's
hard to tell where they belong, so then I go by the
book and put the break in above or below th page
number--with a line space separating it from the text
and from the page break.
