How to Reach the catalogue project
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. Whether you have spotted an error in a title or author listing, noticed a category that could be improved, or encountered a technical problem with a file, your observations help us maintain the quality of this catalogue.
When to Write
Useful reasons to get in touch include:
- Metadata corrections — incorrect title, author name, publication details, or attribution.
- Category placement — a book that seems misfiled among our sections such as Mechanics or Electricity Magnetism.
- File or reader issues — unreadable files, formatting errors, missing illustrations, or a file that fails to open on your device or browser.
- Accessibility problems — if a text is not compatible with screen readers, lacks alt text for diagrams, or presents other barriers.
- Privacy questions — concerns about how we handle personal data or requests related to your own information.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss a listing.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for new additions, contextual notes, or corrections to our introductory essays.
What to Include
To help us act quickly, please provide as many of the following details as possible:
- The exact page URL where the issue appears.
- The full title of the ebook (for example, Easy lessons in Einstein — Background and Themes or Principles of electricity — Key Ideas to Explore).
- The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, etc.).
- The device, browser, or reading software you were using when the problem occurred.
- A clear description of the observed problem — what you expected and what happened instead.
- If the issue involves copyright or rights, any supporting documentation you can share.
Where to Send
All editorial correspondence should be directed to EATSB Catalogue, catalogue project, at editor@eatsb.com. This is the only verified contact for catalogue matters. Messages are checked as part of catalogue maintenance, though we cannot guarantee a personal reply to every inquiry.
Before You Write
For common questions, you may find an answer by exploring the catalogue itself. Many titles include detailed edition notes, such as An epitome of electricity & galvanism — Edition Insights or Archimedes; or, the future of physics — Edition Insights, which clarify the source of the digital text and any editorial choices made. The About Us page explains our selection criteria and approach to public-domain works. If you are unsure about the legal status of a particular book, please check the laws of your own country before contacting us; public-domain rules vary, and we cannot provide legal advice.
If you are reporting a technical problem with a file, it may help to try downloading the book in a different format from the catalogue page. Some reading software handles EPUB and PDF differently, and a simple format switch can resolve display issues. Should the problem persist, your detailed report will be valuable.
Our Response
We aim to acknowledge all substantive messages within a reasonable time. For metadata corrections, we typically review and implement changes promptly. File and accessibility issues may require more investigation, especially if they involve older texts or unusual formatting. Copyright inquiries are handled with care; we may request additional information to verify a claim. While we cannot respond to every suggestion individually, each message is read and considered for the ongoing improvement of the library.
Thank you for helping us keep the Historical Physics Library a reliable resource for curious readers everywhere.
