Then buy the book in English! Maybe this way they will understand the concept of "quality" and the idea of "customer service." Girl, why don’t you just call them, send the book

And yes, I also look for a lot of books in English :) Sim, I doubt they will ever reply. But anyway, I did something, not just complain about it in vain :) I'm sure you'll do great in next year's course :) Bro, no comment on the translation issues you speak

I also saw a lot of bad translations, but I guess that with such an amount of new books they are not that demanding and they accept any translation that could help them sell. It's a pity. I'm planning to take a literary translation course next year. Let's see how it goes. Let’s see what they say. I also saw a lot of bad

One of their books had even the title translated badly (Shadow Puppets became "Umbra papusilor" - "Shadow of the Puppets") and other related books having different names for the same characters. I sent them an email and got absolutely no reply whatsoever. So I'm currently looking for these titles in English, the author's native language. :) I tried something similar with Nemira. One of their

I also began to write e-mails to absolutely every store/service provider/etc. that bothers me. Whether it's about the quality of products/services, or the attitude of their employees. Maybe something will change. Not right now, but maybe someday. Please post the reply! Well done!
