never have i read a book that blows you away like ETIDORPHA.
in ths book you will read sci-fi that later become science fact.
this book is hard to describe but you will truly never forget
it.its listed as fiction but i think not!

Lloyd's classic story about a truth seeker who finds himself escorted into the nether regions of inner earth ranks high on the list of enjoyable/fantastic tales. Written in a masterful, albeit a bit pedantic, style the book is unfortunately absolutely littered with typos, misplaced punctuation and various other typographic sins that detract from the reading experience. Old hardcover editions sell for a strong premium, so I guess we are stuck with this version. Perhaps the publisher will correct all the errors before reprinting. I hope so.

The book is nicely illustrated with surprisingly good black and white drawings depicting some of our hero's travels as he journeys ever onward toward his unknown, but inevitable, future. By all means buy this book and ignore the flaws. A cult classic, to be sure!

For those that understand the inner earth exsists, the book opens up more and answers many questions. There is also a url for a download copy.
