Question
Does your Kindle version have page numbers? We’re using a curriculum that jumps around in SOTW, so we need to be able to go to particular pages. When I bought the Kindle version through Amazon, it only had “locations,” and not page numbers, so we couldn’t use it and I ended up returning it for a refund.

Unfortunately, no, it does not include page numbers. Sorry! But you can search the document for a particular word or chapter-title, or you can go to any chapter using the Table of Contents feature.

Question
Hello,
Do you plan on revising volumes 3 and 4 the way you have with volumes 1 and 2? The newer formats are much cleaner. Any possibility of having an updated modernity book that at least goes to 2010 or maybe 2020?

Updated October 2021: The Volume 3 revision was released in Spring 2020, and the Volume 4 revision was released in Spring 2021.
When we revised Volume 4, we’ll most likely added a small amount of material to bring the book into the 21st century, but it does take some time for “current events” to settle into “history.” Until the story unfolds its consequences, events remain current.
